About Us

The Organising Bureau of European School Student Unions (OBESSU) is the platform for cooperation between the national school student unions active in general secondary and secondary vocational education in Europe. It was founded in April 1975 in Dublin, Ireland and brings together Member, Candidate and Affiliate Organisations from all over Europe. All Member Organisations are independent, national, representative and democratic school student organisations.

At the General Assembly all the Member Organisations of OBESSU gather to decide…

• the activities of the organisation (stated in the Work Program);
• the political alignment of the organisation (stated in the Political Platform);
• the form and the rules of the organisation (stated in the Statutes);
• who will be responsible for fulfilling the work plan and lead the organisation until the next General Assembly.
