The importance of Youth Vote
As schools across Europe close their doors for the summer holidays, so do most EU institutions.
But not all that is quiet is empty - and this is not going to be a summer like any other for the European Parliament: it is the summer just before the elections of 2024. Political parties have just a few more months before the start of their campaigns, and they are going to use this precious time to fine-tune programmes and manifestos, sharpen their tools (and wardrobes), organizing events and debates that will bring their ideas around the EU to win the vote of its citizens.

EYEs on the future of Europe
After the last EYE edition in 2021, where we could only see each other's eyes (ahah), we are now back at enjoying fully the biggest youth event in Europe, aka the European Youth Event.
On the 9th and 10th of June 2023, 10.000 young people met in Strasbourg to exchange their ideas, interact and inspire (hopefully) policy-makers.

European Mental Health Week - Call for action
This week marks the European Mental Health Week, a pan-European initiative that aims to raise awareness about the importance of mental health in our everyday lives. The theme this year is Mentally Healthy Communities, which highlights the need for collective action and support for mental well-being across different settings and groups. As part of this initiative, OBESSU wishes to reflect on mental health and secondary education communities, which include students, teachers, school leaders, parents, and other stakeholders.
Fighting the Covid-19 pandemic starting from schools: the EUCare project
In this article we interview Elisa, a young school student in Italy, about the EUCare project.
My name is Elisa Moscatelli, I am 18 and I took part in an Erasmus+ internship project in Obessu as a translation assistant. I will be staying in Brussels for a month to learn about the organization and its main goals. I decided to attend the EUcare event online since I fully support their initiative and I am extremely interested in their project.
