History Book of BEST
.pdf
Foreword
“If history repeats itself, and the unexpected always happens, how incapable must Man be of learning from experience?” – George Bernard Shaw
BEST wrote its history!
From an idea late in the ‘80s a unique organisation shaped itself from the creativity, passion and dedication of thousands of students. They wrote history with their actions and now this story has been preserved for the future in the shape of BEST History Book.
Now, at its 20th Anniversary, alumni, members and students of Europe can find the most important aspects of the life of BEST in its History Book.
This project started from a daring idea that many BESTies had over the years. It became a reality, when the XXI International Board of BEST included it in their agenda as a gift for the Organization at its 20th Anniversary.
This project has been a very big challenge from the beginning and it should be mentioned that this book is not perfect and may not capture all the events that have succeeded in 20 years. This is why we must strive to improve it and include more stories from the life of BEST in a future edition.
