What is the World Study Bank??

"The only bank that charges no interest, but the effort to share your knowledge"

The World Study Bank is an educational initiative of the JoHo foundation. JoHo is a Dutch based International NGO whose mission is to help promote international cooperation and the exchange of knowledge. JoHo started fifteen years ago as a local youth foundation for educational support. The organisation still offers a wide variety of educational support products to 30,000 students in The Netherlands, however the focus of the organisation has moved to a more international cooperation venue. JoHo now has over 20,000 members and an international network of JoHo centers in more than twenty countries.

The World Study Bank is an initiative in which JoHo puts it's students, JoHo members and international JoHo centers into action. WorldStudyBank.org features educational materials like full courses, book summaries, study notes, and a forum where students from across the world can engage with each other. Active student participation is the force that drives the World Study Bank, but the World Study Bank is also looking for the support and expertise of professional organizations.
