The Better Understanding for a Better World (BUBW) Program is back in 2026 with opportunities for high school students to grow as leaders and global citizens. Launched in 2006, BUBW connects American and international students from diverse cultural and faith traditions through leadership training, intercultural learning, and interfaith dialogue. The program aims to break down stereotypes, encourage civic engagement, and inspire youth to become ambassadors of goodwill and reconciliation. Upcoming events include a virtual conference (Feb 28 – Mar 1, 2026) and an in-person gathering in Baltimore (Apr 22 – 26, 2026).
