The objective of the FungiPreneurs project is to support the social inclusion of vulnerable groups in rural areas through environmental awareness about the importance of fungi for the ecosystems and the marketable value of mycological resources, promoting behaviour change, green skills development and responsible and sustainable social entrepreneurship.

The project features a fantastic consortium, with partners from ECM Ingenieria Ambiental (Spain), Disruptia (Spain), META4 (Austria), Mindshift – Talent Advisory (Portugal), and Centre For Social Innovation – CSI (Cyprus)

As work is ongoing on the project, INQS is heavily focused on the area of Action Planning. The notion of action planning is particularly relevant for the area of mycology, as as there are so many actions across so many different areas which can be taken in the mycology space – including cultivation, marketing and branding, sustainable development, local mentorship, etc.. In this context, action planning is a hugely valuable framework as it allows one to develop a plan based around real-world action and impact.
