The next European Parliament Elections will take place in 2024. By then, we want the EU to be a school student’s EU that takes into consideration school student’s needs and aspirations. With this campaign, we would like to empower school students by helping them understand democratic and participatory processes and encourage them to take part by means that are accessible to them.

From the 12th-13th of April, our Board members Sara & Giuseppe attended the European Youth Forum’s (YFJ) Council of Members (COMEM) in Brussels, Belgium.

This COMEM was filled with decision making, amendment debates and the elections of the 2020-2021 Advisory Council on Youth of the Council of Europe (AC).

During the week between the 1st- 5th of April 2019, OBESSU held the Study Session ‘’SexEd IQ: Inclusive and quality sex education - What can school students do?’’ organised in cooperation with the Youth Department of the Council of Europe in the European Youth Centre in Budapest, Hungary.

This Study Session aimed to explore how school student and their unions can contribute to having inclusive and quality sex education in their schools, both as part of the curricula and as in non-formal and informal learning.

On the 25th of March, our Board Member Giuseppe joined the OECD meeting of National Representatives on the Implementation of Education Reforms. Obessu, from the learners' side with Education International (teachers) and the International Confederation of Principals, represented the perspective of non-governmental actors in the Implementation Processes.

We always refer to young people as the future. We ask ourselves how the future will be and how we, as humans, can secure a future for those who will come after us. This time, the space for young European people to grow and develop into active citizens is at risk.
