Rete degli Studenti Medi is an Italian high-school students' union, created October 4, 2008 from three other student associations active in Italy during the first years of the XXI century.:
Rete degli Studenti Medi cooperates with UdU, the main Italian University Students'Union and with CGIL, the biggest Italian Trade Union, like the UdS before 2006 and the ReDS before 2008.
Since 2016, it's a Candidate Association in the OBESSU, and joins International campaigns and assemblies.
It was part of the National movement "L'Onda" (The Wave) against cuts to the Italian Education System made by the Berlusconi's Government and organized lots of its rallies in all Italian Regions, including the National Strike promoted with the CGIL, November 14, 2008.
The idea of a new national High School Students'Union was developed at the "Student Free Camp", organized by ReDS and SDS, from July 28, 2008 to August 5, 2008 near Latina, with also the presence of ISIM members.
Rete degli Studenti Medi is part of the National Forum of the Most Representative Students'Associations that cooperates with the Italian Ministry for Education.
The association cooperates with High School Students'Unions from France (the UNL) and from Belgium (the CEF) that took part to the "Revolution Camp" the National camp of Rete degli Studenti Medi and UdU, from July 27 and August 8, 2016 in Massa, Tuscany. The FMDL, National French Association of High School Students'centers, was at the Revolution Camp too, as the beginning of a cooperation about services and welfare in Italian and French High Schools. Rete degli Studenti Medi joined the National Assembly and the National Congress of the UNL respectively in November 2015 and April 2016, and took part to the General Assembly of the OBESSU in Amsterdam, the August 11 and 12, 2016, starting the cooperation with other European Students'associations. For the first time as a Candidate Association, RSM had official delegates at the OBESSU Council of Members of December 2016 in Dublin, Ireland.
