The Archive of Noise Transmission, or A.N.T. Radio, is an EHCN-funded project that provides a digital sphere for community members to vocalize their ideas. In the tradition of pirate radio, our program is collaboratively produced and freely distributed. We seek to build a space for our community, and to create and share work without the constraints that often hinder artists working under capitalism.

Bard Black Panthers is a vibrant and inclusive student club at Bard College Berlin, inspired by the legacy of the Black Panther Party. Our mission is to create a safe and empowering space for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) students while fostering community engagement and activism within the college. We're all about promoting racial equity, social justice, and solidarity. We aim to educate, empower, and uplift BIPOC voices within our college community. We draw inspiration from the Black Panther Party's history of advocating for civil rights, self-defense, and community support. 
Our club is open to all BIPOC students at Bard College Berlin who are passionate about racial justice, community building, and social activism. We also welcome allies who are dedicated to learning and supporting our mission. In essence, Bard Black Panthers is a platform for change, where we channel the spirit of the Black Panther Party to create a more inclusive and equitable college experience for everyone. Together, we aim to make a positive impact and contribute to a more just and equitable world. All power to the people!

BCB Go Green is the umbrella organization of several environmental initiatives on campus and one of the longest-existing student clubs. Its primary aim is to provide students with a range of events and opportunities centered around environmentalism. BCB Go Green empowers students to recognize their own capacity to be change agents through focusing on the immediate circumstances they live in.

Initiatives like the poster campaign on environmentalism and the Environ-mental podcast point out how everyday decisions can have a significant environmental impact; becoming more conscious does not require radical changes in one’s life. Our club also cultivates the community-building aspect of environmentalism, highlighting how our shared responsibilities also empower us to take shared action. Finally, BCB Go Green, through enterprises like Urban Gardening, wishes to help every member of our community find their room for action while being supported by a network of committed peers.

BCB Go Green invites every member of our college community to join our currently existing projects and bring their own ideas. In the coming semester, we are planning to diversify our range of events by organizing vegan feasts, thematic weeks, and excursions in collaboration with other student initiatives. Join BCB Go Green and our shared endeavor of creating a community of individuals where individual ideas can become shared ambitions.
