Prior to attending this BEST course, I had been a couple places in Asia and Europe, but my time in Bratislava with the Local BEST Group (LBG) was unique and amazing. I, and about two dozen Europeans —from nearly as many countries— lived, studied and partied in the student dorms on the campus of the Slovak University of Technology, and in Bratislava city itself.

I later found out that CFES and BEST are partner organizations, which gave me the marvelous opportunity to attend this course as participant. There is also the option to attend as a co-organizer where you can help run and… Read More
