#Reconciliation work @PCUWC was a big part of why I joined. Peace is a significant part of the #UWC mission & our reconciliation work is the mission in action. Easy to say something, more important to DO something. Grateful to Rebecca leading our efforts. open.spotify.com/episode/7rMoLM…

Our Vancouver Meet and Greet with the Head of College @jayhmcbride was a great success! Guests had an opportunity to connect and learn about his vision while meeting students, our Board of Directors team and the National Committee of Canada. #PCUWC #vancouver

UWCs were founded to prevent conflict by bringing people together from around the world so that they could connect with & see the shared humanity in one another. That is the continued goal at @PCUWC as we pursue a more peaceful future & stand against civilian violence everywhere.
