Inspirational view from the training rooms at Plymouth University ’ s Mast House
The three ‘ Principle Mentors ’ who led Methodology in their locality were :
Name : Domenico Lizzi Organisation : Tamat Place : Perugia , Italy
the experimentation phase of the Social Start Ups
Domenico mentored a group in Perugia by using the Social Start Ups methodological tools . The experimentation achieved good results as they started an Ethical Purchasing Group ( EPG ) in Perugia city centre . Whilst this EPG now includes over 40 members , the challenge is to find a sustainable model for this EPG . Six of the EPG members have developed a thorough plan for a social enterprise startup which they will launch in 2017 .
Name : Joana Levy Organisation : AMSED , AMAP du Ruisseau Bleu Place : Strasbourg , France
Joana mentored EPG members willing to start up social enterprises in and around Strasbourg . Using the methodological tools created on the Social Start Ups Project , Joana trained participants who were considering the creation of an associative café sourcing and serving produce from local EPGs , and another group who were looking to create a social enterprise to enhance the sustainability of their EPG which raises grass eating animals only . The challenge now is to realise the created plans .
