The Committee External Activities (CEA) is the SIB committee that organizes visits to national and international organizations through lectures or workshops. We also arrange various online lectures and conferences during pandemic times to deepen our understanding of the world.

In recent years, we have visited the Canadian and Jordanian Embassy in the Netherlands. Furthermore, we have been at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Amnesty International, UNICEF, EUROPOL, Hivos Institute, Greenpeace, and many more. On these monthly visits to embassies, institutions, and companies, we get to listen to speeches and receive workshops from diverse actors on the international stage. The most critical element is question rounds, where we get to ask experts and high-ranking officials tough questions about their field and current political affairs.

Every two weeks, the committee discusses the upcoming activities while enjoying a drink and/or snack. This way, we combine togetherness with organizing the activities and getting to know your fellow committees in this way.
