Why are you interested in participating in this UWC short course in Cyprus? What do you expect to gain, and what do you hope to contribute? (150-250 words)

What does diversity mean to you? How is your own community diverse - and in what ways is it less diverse? (150-250 words)

Your community can be your friends and family, the city/town you live in, a cultural or religious community, your school, or a club you are part of.

Imagine that you are taking part in the short course. It is day 5, and you need to choose a social challenge you want to improve in your school, neighbourhood or community. Record a video of maximum two minutes explaining: which topic you would choose and why, and what actions/solutions you would take to help solve it. Disclaimer: we encourage you to express it in your own words

We kindly ask you to submit the video in English; however, we will not take the level of English into consideration. Please note that we are not concerned with the artistic representation of the video, but rather with its content.
