From the 12th until the 15th of March, OBESSU, represented by our Board Member Alexandra, participated in the EU Youth Conference organised by the Portuguese Presidency of the Council. Despite a bitter taste for the Conference taking place online instead of in Vila Nova de Gaia as planned, we can say it was a great experience.

From the 15th of April and the 15th of May, #Ecofighters and OBESSU will host the impact month. We will be funding actions related to raising environmental awareness and sustainability or advocating for climate justice from youth organisations. 

As part of the #EcoFighters – School students for the environment annual EYF work plan, OBESSU is launching a call for a Consultant to help in the development of an Action Kit for School student organising for the environment. 

OBESSU is launching the call for a volunteer to join the Secretariat team in Brussels under the project European Solidarity Corps.

The project will focus on Membership and Outreach and it will start in June 2021 and finish in May 2022.
