Key Findings from the Reconnect-EU Report

Read our Focus Group Report, developed from the insights we gathered from our National Focus Group discussions. These Focus Groups involved 85+ experts across 5 EU countries revealing critical insights into social withdrawal:

• A Protective Shield: Withdrawal is often a silent adaptive response to overwhelming social and academic pressure.

• The “Invisible” Risk: Quiet, non-disruptive students are most at risk of remaining undetected until isolation is entrenched.

• Digital Bridges: While it can isolate, the digital world is a vital tool for the first steps of reconnection.

• Peer Power: Classmates are the most effective allies for a successful return to school.  These findings are shaping our new training curricula for more inclusive schools!
