IO1: The PINOLO Social Business Manual –
The PINOLO project aims to provide its participants with all the necessary knowledge to help them become social entrepreneurs. The Pinolo Social Business Manual will encourage the artists to undertake an active and constructive attitude and venture into social business initiatives that will benefit themselves and their communities. Local Participatory Groups (LPGs): Each partner consulted with eight participants who were creative individuals with a desire to be more entrepreneurial. These sessions were key in establishing the training needs and skill gaps which the Pinolo materials needed to address. These recommendations were recorded into the national reports.
