About the Foundation GBE-FMF

The Foundation GBE-FMF is responsible for the organization of trips abroad. Before 2014 these were only the intercontinental trips, but since 2014 this has been generalized to excursions destined outside the Netherlands. The intercontinental trips are organized under the name "Grote Buitenlandse Excursie (GBE)"; the trips to destinations outside the Netherlands but within Europe are known as the "Kleine Buitenlandse Excursie (KBE)".
