UWC Red Cross Nordic (UWC RCN) was opened in 1995. The College is located on the shores of Flekke in the community of Fjaler, Sogn og Fjordane County. The College enrolls 200 students aged 16 to 20 from more than 80 different nations, including teenagers from conflict regions and refugees. The College not only focuses on academics, but also seeks to find a balance between studies, community services and activities. It lies alongside the Red Cross Haugland Rehabilitation Centre. The two institutions work closely together and share many facilities. The College has become a reality through the cooperative efforts of many organizations including the Norwegian National Committee of UWC, the Norwegian Red Cross and the host municipality of Fjaler. UWC Red Cross Nordic was set up with support from all Nordic countries, which provide the funding for the yearly running of it.
