European

Lead by Nature

Network

Growing the European leaders together.
Inspired by nature.

Our why

We want to build a future of young leaders that are authentic, accountable, reliable and prepared to bring sustainable change in their communities.

Coming together as a network was the result of 18 months of cooperation in various projects, as organizations that are seeking to always bring to the table innovative and alternative perspectives on non-formal education, raise awareness of EU-funded opportunities, as well as creation of spaces supporting youth development.

We understood that together we are stronger, and through cooperation, shared and exchanged experience, as well as through examples of good practices within the network, we can reach our full potential and reach our common goal.
