SORCE Network
Students Organizing Conventions Everywhere
The festivals and conferences are completely independent from each other
and therefore there are some differences between them, but the basic
idea is the same: to meet students from all over the world, to discuss
about the one world we are all living in, to get to know different opinions
about it, and, last but not least, to have fun and cultural experiences

It's hard to say where, when and how it all started - the European Week
in Paris has been organized already since 1960. Now the number of such
events is constantly growing: the first ISWinT in Timisoara (Romania)
took place in 1995; there was a conference called "HEURÉKA"
in October 1996 in Pécs, Hungary.
In 1993, the idea for SORCE (Students ORganizing Conventions Everywhere)
was born. The aim was to create a base for co-operation, to help each
other organizing, to learn from each other. SORCE is a loose network
- it doesn't have a leader or a board - SORCE is where one of it's members
is. Maybe some day this will change and a real organisation will be
founded. But so far, the few attempts to start this "real"
organisation could not be carried out (partly because the staff of the
different associations changes all the time).
The festivals and conferences are completely independent from each
other and therefore there are some differences between them, but the
basic idea is the same: to meet students from all over the world, to
discuss about the one world we are all living in, to get to know different
opinions about it, and, last but not least, to have fun and cultural
experiences.
