The story of Retinue Without Border (RWB) began in a friendly gathering of students in 2016. The goal was to help children who, due to the circumstances of their time, found themselves in relatively difficult conditions, and we wanted to take our own step toward creating educational justice. In the same year, with the joining of other student friends residing in Germany, the initial core of the association was formed, and the founding board began their efforts to write the constitution and create the initial structure. It wasn't long before other student cores in various countries such as Denmark, Sweden, America, Canada, the Netherlands, and Norway also joined this group.
After extensive efforts, in 2020 we succeeded in officially registering RWB in Denmark. The progress of developing the necessary infrastructure for the association continued with the creation of the association's website, and now Retinue Without Border, with more than 50 active volunteer members and six different working groups, strives to advance its goals. What we believe in is that we must stand together beyond ethnicities, nationalities, and beliefs and strive to build a more beautiful and just world for the children of future generations.
