Around 100 delegates took the opportunity to discuss the term and concept of "internationality" in Cascais (near Lisbon) June 6-7. The future, at least according to the unanimous verdict of the speakers, goes far beyond this. The framework was provided by this year's general assembly of the CEPE, the official accompanying program was colourful and impressive, whilst the unofficial one was black and white and dramatic. All was presided over by CEPE President Neville Petersen in his accustomed superb manner.
When the CEPE announces its annual assembly, the call is taken up by the nations. And their number is growing. Last year's new additions - Romania and Hungary - were represented by further delegates this year. The American delegation is also growing in significance and numbers. And so it was entirely fitting that the organisers had invited a number of speakers to discuss the topic of internationality.
