Youth Report Stage 1
The ELNN Research Stage 1 Report showcases the European Lead by Nature Network’s (ELNN) initial phase in exploring youth perceptions and engagement across Europe. Focused on fostering innovation, empowerment, and cooperation among youth, the report outlines the collaborative effort among organizations to understand young individuals’ views on societal and cultural issues.
By utilizing applied anthropology and diverse methodologies, ELNN aims to tailor youth work and organizational strategies to the unique needs of young Europeans. The report details the process, methodology, and early findings, highlighting the importance of engaging youth in meaningful conversations about their future and societal engagement.

Youth Report Stage 2
The ELNN Research Stage 2 Report highlights the second phase of the European Lead by Nature Network’s initiative to delve deeper into youth perspectives across Europe. Building on the foundations of Stage 1, this report concentrates on key EU Youth Goals—particularly Mental Health & Well-being and Quality Learning—to capture the evolving needs and aspirations of young people.
By employing a multidisciplinary approach that combines rapid ethnography, online questionnaires, and focus groups, ELNN has engaged a diverse array of youth across partner countries. The study not only gathers nuanced insights into the challenges surrounding mental health and the transformative potential of quality learning but also offers actionable recommendations to tailor youth work and organizational strategies for a more inclusive, resilient future.
