The Bge Youth Volunteers Association was established at BNU in 1994. It's a student-led organization that serves as a platform for students to engage in social responsibility efforts while providing high-quality community service. By January 2021, it had over 1,081 active volunteers who contributed their skills and services across various welfare sectors. This association not only has become a highly visible and influential student body within China but also serves as an extension of our institution in reinforcing students' social responsibility awareness, enhancing their practical skills, and nurturing top-tier innovative talent.

This initiative was med at broadening students' capabilities for effective global service post-pandemic, fostering an ensemble capable of competing globally.

The University is also committed to preparing the next generation for contributions in the field of itarian assistance and sustnable development through its program China International itarian and Sustnable Innovator Program, backed by UNDP China Office, UNOCHA, UNU, WHO, ICVA, ODI, among others. This initiative ms at laying a foundation for expertise and talent in these areas within China to promote long-term growth.

In addressing the challenges and opportunities of the post-COVID-19 world, BNU has contributed significantly towards pandemic mitigation efforts. Collaborating with UNESCO IITE and other global organizations, we published Handbook on Facilitating Flexible Learning During Educational Disruption: The Chinese Experience in Mntning Undisrupted Learning during COVID-19 Outbreak, a resource shared by over 11,000 schools across 180 countries.
