Buddies Without Borders (BWB) Clubs have continued to grow around the world since 2020. Students interact online across time zones, borders and ideologies every weekend through SDGs-themed debates, cultural presentations and local action sharing. To help the Clubs stay on pace are our Club Coordinators. We are so lucky to have these university students setting examples of what it means to be a good global citizen for our Club Members:
