Once upon a time a brave and a clever bunch of people decided to put years of managing international activities of their organisations into words. Brave, because they knew that words will hardly be able to provide an insight into the world of doing international activities and some of them are not really on friendly terms with words. Clever (this is debatable), because they actually managed to be successful and good in doing such activities.

It would be so cool to say that this wonderful idea happened during one poetic night near the seaside when the cool breeze was whispering and the sun was going down…. But, actually this happened while doing an activity and being completely mad because again we needed to remember the next steps, make a task list and explain all the tips to the new prep team.

In the next pages we aim to give you an overview of the breathtaking world of international affairs. Whether you have already been working on organising international events or this is your first, fresh start, we will try to guide you from the formation of an idea to the final evaluation steps. Through this book we want to explain all the necessary steps you will need in order to realise fantastic projects but also explain our personal experience during the process and leave you the space to reflect on your own experience while developing the activity! No worries, we didn’t leave embarrassing stories out!
