In 2006, anschlaege.de and students of the Europa University Viadrina, Frankfurt / Oder, opened up a self-managed, international student dormitory in an empty pre-fabricated high rise right at the Polish border, the fforst-Haus. Living there, you learn a lot, such as organizing events, mixing drinks, making, implementing and selling decisions. The fforst-Book is a richly illustrated A to Z, a German-English collection of practical experience, knowledge gained and debates led in the house. It tells of “strategically muddling through”, living together internationally and the joy of self-empowerment.
