In an era marked by pressing global challenges, WUACD has taken up the mantle to empower the youth through educational initiatives that align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The program is called Belajar Bersama Komunitas (BBK). Starting from July-August 2023, the BBK Program has been successfully held at the Universiti Malaysia Terengganu (UMT). BBK summer programs go beyond the traditional boundaries of education, fostering a new generation of responsible global citizens for experiential learning and empowerment. WUACD recognizes that these programs are a unique opportunity to instill in youth the values and knowledge required to build a sustainable future.

BBK in Universiti Malaysia Terengganu has crafted a series of transformative summer programs that directly contribute to the SDGs, fostering awareness, skills, and action among participants. In alignment with SDG 4 (Quality education), the programs such as visiting INOS, Akuatrop, PSNZ, Muzium Terengganu, and academy visits allow the participants could explore cultural diversity, sustainable tourism practices, and responsible consumption. On the other hand, participants also experienced visits to Pasar Payang and Kuala Terengganu Drawbridge and waterfall clean up. It aligns with SDG 8, which makes the participants contribute to both personal growth and global sustainability. The participants also have activities such as visiting Kenyir Elephant Conservation Village (KECV), water activities, jungle tracking, and Kenyir Herb Garden that aligns with SDG 15. Through a combination of educational workshops, hands-on activities, and field trips, the programs aim to foster a sense of responsibility and connection to the environment among BBK participants

In a world where the actions of today shape the world of tomorrow, BBK to Universiti Malaysia Terengganu programs provide a beacon of hope. By nurturing the passion and knowledge of youth, these programs forge a path toward a more sustainable, equitable, and prosperous future.
