Re Discover UWC ISAK

Episode 17 : Lazar Nelkovski, Grade 11 at UWC ISAK. Came from Macedonia to Japan, 9000km Journey. Grew up in lower middle class, in Macedonia, Skopje, where there is a huge political division between Macedonian majority and Albanian minority. Where he experiences discrimination based on hierarchy that people set out. Lazar's experience as minority and wish to create happiness always strives his life journey to make a world a better place. Selected as first ever national committee who is an artist, he has been organizing music concert in the city for three years, which 2000 people came to the concert in first year and 5000 people in third year including the young crowd who were protesting at the city. The strong hunger and wish shines in Japan. Hope to see Lazar's action to engrave Lazar's colour to ISAK. It was an great session which told me an beauty of diversity.

Berenard Lee, G10 student in ISAK. Born and raised in Hong Kong. The article about leadership education he read in 2020 was the beginning of his journey to ISAK. Moreover, we discussed the current situation in Hong Kong as Beijing's influence increases "25% of my classmates left the country," he said. Hong Kong is moving in an unexpected direction. 

As a life-changing experience, he talked about a photography project focusing on capturing Hong Kong he worked on during the summer. "I learned that the most important element in photography is the message you want to deliver through the piece" Bernard takes dairy photography to the extraordinary picture.
