UWC in Mostar was the first UWC set up with the explicit aim to assist in the reconstruction of a post-conflict society. UWC Mostar students come from all over the world, as well as from all ethnic groups in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the region. All students live, study and serve in the community together creating a unique example of integrated education in post-war Bosnia and Herzegovina. The community service programme aims to contribute to the integration processes in Mostar focusing on working with underprivileged social groups such as Roma children, orphans, refugees and the elderly. Every year students initiate and organize a number of activities and events focused on cooperation with local communities and institutions. These include annual flea markets, fund collecting activities, humanitarian events and festivals dedicated to the local community, which at the same time contribute to the development of a post conflict society. At UWC in Mostar the students actively reach out to all communities to assist in the healing process, build bridges and work towards a brighter future. Some of the CAS activities in which UWC Mostar students take part are International Cooking, World Cinema, choir, Model United Nations, Astronomy and Modern Dance.
