Welcome! OBESSU has a new Secretary General

At the recent OBESSU General Assembly, a vote of trust was given to Rasmus Åberg, which means that he can now officially take over the role as OBESSU’s new Secretary General. Rasmus will work together with the current Secretary General Viviana during August, after which Viviana will say goodbye and leave for future adventures.

Rasmus is originally from Sweden, but his interest and experience from youth and education comes from the European level. He has been active in the exchange student organisations Erasmus Student Network (ESN) and European Educational Exchanges – Youth for Understanding (EEE-YFU). He is also currently in the Steering Committee of the European Civil Society Platform on Lifelong Learning (EUCIS-LLL), an educational platform of which OBESSU is a member.

As a Secretary General, he will work closely with the Board and coordinate the activities in the office. One of the most urgent tasks will be to find a solution to the potentially challenging financial situation facing OBESSU after 2013.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact Rasmus by email at rasmus(a)obessu.org or call the OBESSU Office +32 2 6472390
