class=\"wp-block-studio14-blocks-section-block dare-to-dream__intro\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UWC and the International Baccalaureate (IB) have worked closely together for decades to shape learning that combines academic rigour with global responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That partnership continues to evolve through the Systems Transformation Pathway (STP), a pilot programme developed jointly by UWC and the IB to explore how climate education can move beyond theory into practical, real-world action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead of traditional exam structures, students work on applied projects connected to areas such as biodiversity, energy and food systems, combining systems thinking, leadership and collaborative problem-solving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two hundred students across two pilot colleges, UWC Atlantic and UWC South East Asia, are already part of the programme, helping to shape new approaches to climate and sustainability learning.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n        <div class=\"video-card-wrapper\" data-video-url=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=izt2fWRQYrQ\">\n
