26.04.16
The school, designed by Tim Flynn Architects, has received numerous architectural awards.
Clooney met Pamela Tebchrany – the first recipient of an annual scholarship granted by 100 LIVES in the name of Amal Clooney.
“As a leading human rights barrister and campaigner, Amal Clooney is an inspirational role model for young women around the world. She exemplifies integrity, compassion and dedication – and typifies what it means to be a global citizen across all cultures” co-founder of 100 LIVES and UWC Dilijan College Ruben Vardanyan said.
The Amal Clooney Scholarship offers one female student from Lebanon a place on a two-year international baccalaureate program at UWC Dilijan, based on their exemplary academic performance and demonstrable interest in the promotion of human rights and international issues.
“This scholarship will give young women from Lebanon the opportunity of a lifetime. Cross-cultural learning and studying abroad can be transformative. I am grateful to 100 LIVES for helping to open doors for these bright and talented young women” Amal Clooney said.
