The idea behind the BridgeBuilders Club is to build a team, which goes on exchanges to learn about their own and other cultures and most important, to “build bridges” between them. Bridgebuilders Clubs use The Bricks , a series of 14 sessions that make cultural learning fun and inspiring. These Bricks are practical preparations for the exchanges but also help foster the discussion about topics of culture, local impact, friendship, faith and more. As each BridgeBuilders Club is different, each group explores the Bricks in a different way. Some groups might discuss them; others turn them into action. Exchanges are expensive because they involve travelling. Fundraising activities and strategies are an integrated part of the Bricks. Personal money management, attitudes towards money and funds, and helping each other reach their individual and team goals, are skills you learn for life.

A BridgeBuilder Club works with the Bridgebuilders cycle of Activities. Next to the regular meetings, which are twice a month, the highlights are a start-weekend, two exchanges (one being the host, one being the guest) and participating in an International Youth Festival in the summer.
