The call for selection committee members is now open!
To ensure that we select objectively high quality projects, we are looking for 4 enthusiastic young people to evaluate the incoming applications.

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) has recently published its 2019 Global Education Monitoring (GEM) Report which focuses on Migration, displacement and education.
OBESSU welcomes the analysis on how education can build bridges and not walls, as well as the call of the report for more international solidarity. We regret to see almost no space for the learners’ perspective.

OBESSU is looking for a Membership and Capacity Building Officer who will be managing the OBESSU Programme “Stronger School Student Unions” supported by the Open Society Foundations, under the supervision of the OBESSU Secretary General, in direct cooperation with designated Board Members and in cooperation with other members of the OBESSU Secretariat.

The many member organisations that play a crucial role in the work of OBESSU attended a Mental Health convention in Rome from the 19th – 21st of November.

From the 11th to the 12th of October our Board member, Sara Þöll Finnbogadóttir, attended the Gender Equality & YOU conference organised by the Austrian Federal Chancellery, in cooperation with the Austrian National Youth Council and the European Youth Forum and with the support of the Austrian Presidency of the Council of the European Union. The event aimed at inspiring an open and positive based dialogue between stakeholders.
