We are back in full power after the summer, and apart from many events for the whole membership, many advocacy trips, we have had the opportunity to visit another organisation from our membership for a field visit!

Between 3-6 October, our Membership and Capacity Building Officer Dasa and OBESSU Alumna Viviana, our former Secretary General, visited UEM in Chisinau, Moldova. The field visits are a part of the Stronger School Student Unions (SSSU).

Our Board member Edvardas and our Secretary General Giuseppina Tucci were invited, togehter with other international activists, to join as official partners and supporters, the 100 Million delegation in New York City, a campaign initiated by the Nobel Peace Prize laureate Kailash Satyarthi that deals with children slavery, denied access to fundamental human rights, education and children poverty. This was the opportunity to present the 100 Million report and to speak up for children justice. Edvardas and Giuseppina presented the European perspective, highlighting why European school students should care about their peers in developing countries.

On 16th of September, the Swedish capital Stockholm gathered delegations from all over the world. Among presentations and workshops, there were a few panel discussions, where OECD members listened to perspectives of different stakeholders in education. Together they discussed their potential strength of cooperation and their role in making policy reforms more efficient.  The European school student perspective was delivered by Edvardas Vabuolas, Board member of OBESSU.
