From one room in Dublin to a network of school student unions across Europe.
In 1975, delegates came together at Trinity College Dublin with a shared vision: to create a pan-European organisation representing school students. That vision became OBESSU.
More than five decades later, our mission remains the same: empowering school students, defending their rights, and ensuring that their voices are heard in education and beyond.
This place reminds us that meaningful change begins when people come together with a common purpose. Today, that story continues through every student representative, every member organisation, and every young person working towards a more democratic, inclusive and equitable education system.
The fight continues. The organisation grows. And school students are more united than ever.
Nothing about us, without us! ✊
