EWB International

2022 has been an exciting year.

Driven by a vision that the global Engineers Without Borders movement is capable of achieving greater impact by working together, we’ve been exploring what this looks like through workshops, surveys, interviews and research. In total, 93 individuals representing 31 national EWBs from across Africa, Americas, Europe, Middle East, Asia and Pacific made sure their voice was heard by participating in the discussion, a level of engagement we’re excited by and look forward to continuing into the future.

In the coming weeks we look forward to sharing the analysis with you, but it is clear that our diverse network of national EWBs share a common ethos and Engineers Without Borders International can bring value to the global movement by providing coordination; supporting participatory decision making and distributed leadership.

Do you want to help us continue to shape the collective future of the global Engineers Without Borders movement?

We now have two (2) seats available to join the board of directors of Engineers Without Borders International via election.
