The idea of BEST was born in Stockholm in 1987 and LBG Stockholm is one of the 18 founding members of BEST and has been part of the organisation since 1989. And you know the rest; after 20 years we are still here and going on rocking…

LBG Stockholm has the tradition of organising courses in late spring/early summer as it is the end of exam period for Stockholm members and time to boost the BEST spirit in Stockholm. We organised courses more or less every year since the beginning with sauna parties, gossips and high BEST spirit included. From 1992 to 2010, LBG Stockholm organized 19 BEST courses (this corresponds to 350 students hosted by LBG Stockholm in 18 years).

In 2000, LBG Stockholm had the honour of organising General Assembly (GA) of BEST. After GA 2000, most of the Swedish members organised this great event graduated or went abroad for studies and in a moment, the LBG almost lost its Swedish identity. That is when the international students studying in KTH became the majority and English became the spoken language in the meetings. Since then, LBG Stockholm is also called as LBG Erasmus.
