As part of their trip to Armenia, the President of Germany, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, and his wife, Elke Büdenbender, visited Dilijan and strolled through Dilijan City Park, whose redevelopment and maintenance have been funded by Ruben Vardanyan and Veronika Zonabend, Co-Founders of UWC Dilijan.
During their visit, our students Jonas Borgemeister (Germany, UWCD'26), Zhixing (Dan) Song (China, UWCD'26), Mari-Elena Arutyunova (Russia, UWCD'25), and Amevi Kwidama (The Netherlands, UWCD'25) had the opportunity to engage in a brief exchange with President Steinmeier and Ms. Büdenbender, discussing UWC Dilijan, their international backgrounds, and the school’s mission to promote peace and a sustainable future.
Regretfully, President Steinmeier was not able to visit UWC Dilijan during this trip, but we hope to welcome him and Ms. Büdenbender to our campus in the future.
