Event
Emergent Generation Online – Being Enterprising: An Exploratory Workshop
About the event
Are you looking to improve your business skills? Do you have an idea for a new enterprise in the farming and food sector? Are you interested in the concepts of regenerative business and entrepreneurship? Would you like to learn from others who are running successful and impactful agroecological businesses?
Join Mitch, Jonty and Isobel for an initial online workshop to explore key concepts. You will then be invited to share your thoughts on knowledge gaps and needs – tell EmGen how they can help you to develop your business skills and confidence. Maybe you would you like a regular Em Gen working group, business focused mentoring or more knowledge exchange events with a business focus? Join in and tell the organisers what you need, and help them to develop this important theme.
