Past Courses
Oh no you WOODn't!
2017
Our last course was on the theme of WOOD. Learning about typical and mechanical qualities of wood and how to process wood with CAD and CNC-technology. At the end of the course each participant had made their own wood object which was made during the practical part. Also during company visits participants saw how different objects are made out of wood.
Testimonials 2017
"We really loved each one of you and a great thank you because you made this event not just possible but an unforgettable life experience."
Athanasios Latinis from Greece
"Thank you for everything. The spirit the organisers had: ALWAYS helpfull, ALWAYS kind, ALWAYS wanting us to enjoy the course... I will never forget what you did for us. I have never been to another course but I doubt that there are five who did a better job this year. I'm still living with my head in Estonia and recovering from what you gave me: an experience I will never forget and the feeling of being so tired that I will never get rid of it, but I take it for the team! Thank you, strange Estonians!"
Florian Derycke from Belgium
"I am just so thankful to each and everyone of you, even though there's some people I barely have spoken to. I know how much time and energy it takes to organize this and you did the best job, something a participant could barely dream of. From now on I have such a high level of expectation that I don't even dare to take another BEST course because it will never match this experience. Furthermore I now also have an excellent opinion about Estonia and Estonian people in general, you should be proud on behalf of your country. Really I'm so so thankful, applying for this course has been one of the best decision I've ever made. I really hope to meet some of you at least very soon and until then take care everybody, lots of love ! "

It truly humbled me seeing such young people so actively engaged in their society and in trying to help others. I left Estonia with all these people in my heart. Remember, it is not goodbye, but rather see you later! :) "
