The city of Dilijan, where the programs occur, is the most popular health resort in Armenia. A quiet city 1.5 hours drive from the capital of Armenia, Yerevan, is located above sea level and is surrounded by the National Reserve forests. There are clean mountain air and mineral springs, and in summer, thanks to the unique climate, a comfortable temperature is maintained.
Dilijan is a centre for the development of the region. The anchor project is UWC Dilijan College, the first international boarding school in the post-Soviet space, part of the United World Colleges (UWC) movement.
Dilijan is included in the UNESCO Global Learning Cities List. In 2016, the international organization released the World Report on the Role of Culture in Sustainable Urban Development "Culture: the Future of Cities", in which Dilijan was named one of the brightest examples of sustainable development, and the opening of the UWC Dilijan school was recognized as the main driving force of this process.
