In just a few weeks, the next Buddies Without Borders Online Forum - Multiculturalism for the Common Good will unfold as passionate teens from more than a dozen countries gather with a shared mission: to cultivate harmonious communities based on the common good. These young leaders, representing diverse ideologies, will explore how to build bridges between people with different or even conflicting values and needs. These high school students will converge in a dynamic online environment designed to foster open dialogue, mutual respect, and innovative problem-solving. They will delve into the complexities of human interaction, seeking creative solutions that transcend historical grievances and ideological divides. The goal is not to erase differences but to proactively create ways to foster friendship and empathy, so that human connections can outshine any political differences. To support these young visionaries in the Forum on their quest are our coaches, panelists, and speakers. Please join us in thanking this multicultural community of educational leaders: Hon. Teta Banks,Ed.D. / Andrew Hand / Kaoutar Benkaddi / Gina McBean-Linton / Angolwisye Paul Mwakisu / Lisa Brunet / Marshall Bailly / Chiedza-Matipa Banga / Yohana Fontenla / Vallon Bucayu-Lee / Harry Haghani and beyond. Everyone is welcome in our global community. Join us in the quest for the common good. https://www.globaleducationdestinations.org/post/let-the-quest-begin #GlobalEducation #internationalstudents #highschool (fb)

We may not always see eye-to-eye with everyone when it comes to what the powerful should do to make our world a better place, but when in doubt, I hope we will focus on what WE can do to help those in need. We are so proud of our Buddies Without Borders students' work on their international internship teams (click on the image to find out more). Furthermore, 50+ teens from eight countries joined together during the weekend and launched the 2025-2026 year global community in the BWB Clubs. At BWB, we don't wait for the powerful to do the right thing, and we don't assume malice of those who disappoint us. We are the ones who can make the world a better place. (fb)
