Aims
The aim of the United World Colleges is to use education as a force to unite peoples, nations and cultures for peace and a sustainable future. The Nordic College, with a special emphasis on environmental and humanitarian concerns, brings highly motivated young students from all parts of the world so they can live and learn together. The school's objective is to help students become active, involved and educated citizens whose attitudes towards understanding and service will be a powerful catalyst for change. Through these students, who are selected on merit as representatives of their countries, RCNUWC hopes to influence their wider communities to become more understanding, compassionate and peaceful. The Red Cross United World College “wishes to create a better and more tolerant world.”

Famous quotes containing the word aims:
“...a fixed aim furnishes us with a fixed measure, by which we can decide whether such or such an action proposed is worth trying for or not, and as aims must vary with the individual, the decisions of any two people as to the desirableness of an action may not be the same.”
—Anna C. Brackett (1836–1911)
“A lie is real; it aims at success. A liar is a realist.”
—Christina Stead (1902–1983)
“Ideally, advertising aims at the goal of a programmed harmony among all human impulses and aspirations and endeavors. Using handicraft methods, it stretches out toward the ultimate electronic goal of a collective consciousness.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
