University student Chapters are advocating for globally responsible practice through extra curricular activities.

Workshops

Many Chapters run workshops to support their members to think about different issues or topics in and around engineering. Highlights in recent years have been workshops focused on the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Talks

Many Chapters host panel events and talks throughout the year to share new ideas and topics with their members. We can support you to find suitable speakers too!

Socials

Social activities are an important part of running a Chapter. They allow you to grow your membership and provide opportunities for students to meet new people who are passionate about global responsibility.

Projects

Projects provide an educational space for students to put their learning into action, support the local community and ensure they have a good understanding of global responsibility.

How we support Chapters

Engineers Without Borders UK provides year-round support to the student Chapters. This includes ongoing assistance from the staff team and a dedicated Student Champion, and complimentary membership for the entire committee.

Chapters have access to various training opportunities, such as Building Community Leaders, a national training event that unites Chapters. Additionally, they receive resources to facilitate the organisation of events and activities.

All of our Chapters have access to a Slack channel, allowing interaction with the Engineers Without Borders UK team, other Chapters, and movement members. Chapters also receive a customised Engineers Without Borders UK logo, a personal Chapter email address, and a Chapter-specific newsletter.
