On May 27, 2017 UWC Dilijan hosted the first day of the 2017 Aurora Dialogues. Arriving guests had an opportunity to tour UWC Dilijan and see examples of students’ work. The 2017 Aurora Dialogues then began with opening remarks by Ruben Vardanyan, Co-founder of the Aurora Humanitarian Initiative, and Denise Davidson, UWC Dilijan Headmistress.

Veronika Zonabend put to words what everybody was feeling and thus concluded the first day of the Aurora Dialogues. “It’s been a great day. Thank you for your commitment, your efforts, your professionalism, your passion, your hearts,” she said.
