Interest Groups
WBGFN Interest Groups reflect the diversity at the Family Network. Created, designed and organized by WBGFN members, these groups span a wide range of interests that include dabbling in investment stocks and bonds, experimenting with international cuisine, trying different arts and crafts, discussing English, African, American or French books over coffee, honing conversation skills in French or Spanish, playing a well loved game, or just relaxing over a cold beer. Take your pick! Don't forget that you are welcome to start a new interest group for members too! For more information, please send an email to familynetwork@worldbank.org.
If you love to read and exchange ideas through books, the English Book Group is the place you want to be.
