Graduation is always a special moment at UWC Red Cross Nordic. After two years of learning, growing, making friendships and sharing everyday life in Flekke, a new group of students is ready to take their next steps into the world.
The graduating class of 2026
In her keynote speech, Norkis Valero Mendez (RCN alumna 2025) reminded the graduates that what they have experienced at RCN will stay with them, even when they move on:
“You will meet people who do not understand why certain topics matter so much. People who will make insensitive comments without realizing it. People who have never had to live alongside so many different realities at the same time. It can feel as though everything we built here (RCN) is not appreciated by anyone else. But even when it does not seem like it, we always leave traces behind. Always.”

And we are sure they will.
Watching a new cohort leave Flekke is always emotional, but also incredibly inspiring. We hope our graduates carry the friendships, experiences, challenges and lessons from their two years at RCN with them into whatever comes next. We wish every one of them the very best for the journey ahead. The world is waiting for you. And remember: you are always welcome back to Flekke and Fjaler.
