Capturing the Essence of Diversity - Atlantic College Celebrates 50 Years of International Unity
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we are transported back to the year 1962, as boys from 16 different nationalities gather for their first meal in the enchanting refectory of St Donats Castle at Atlantic College. The castle's rich history resonates with significant milestones; it was here that THE International Baccalaureate was born and where the revolutionary rigid-hulled inflatable rescue boat found its inception. Atlantic College, nestled just outside Llantwit Major in the Vale of Glamorgan, holds a special place in education. Founded by visionary German educationalist Dr Kurt Hahn during a time overshadowed by global tensions - amidst both the Cuban Missile crisis and post-World War II aftermath - this institution aimed to foster peace and international understanding through education. The photograph encapsulates Dr Hahn's mission perfectly, showcasing young minds aged 16 to 19 coming together, aware of their diverse backgrounds yet united under one roof. As they embark on their academic journey, these students embrace each other's nationality, culture, and traditions. Now celebrating its momentous 50th anniversary milestone since its establishment on September 19th, 1962; Atlantic College stands tall as an emblematic symbol of unity and harmony. This image serves as a testament to how education can bridge divides and create lasting bonds among individuals from all corners of the globe. *
