MYKOS - Fungi as a Resource of Employment, Sustainable Development and Economic Diversification within the Rural Realm

The MYKOS project will develop, pilot and introduce an outline curriculum for the training and qualification of specialists in the use of wild and cultivated fungus.The project will focus upon the development of innovative training for particular target sectors to include; women & unemployed youth from rural backgrounds and the physically and mentally disabled, with the aim of effectively improving their labour insertion capability.Initial activities will include the development of training modules on issues such as identification, classification, management and sustainability of wild and cultivated fungus and the development of suitable support materials (field notebook, good practice handbook, etc.) all to be output in CD-Rom format (in ES & EN).National networks will be created across the partner countries to be headed by a transnational information and communication forum. A dedicated website will be created to feature a specific information and training database for use by the networks and by other relevant European bodies and sectoral organisations, to also feature both a 'suggestions' box and individual, permanent discussion forums. A further support element will be in the piloting of a tele-work centre (15-20 students) whereby support will be provided to user groups working with the MYKOS project.All materials developed will be validated through work with each of the primary target groups with findings influencing final products and materials.The outcomes and products of the project will be disseminated through a series of workshops and transnational seminars and through existing partner networks of professional bodies and organisations related to the sector.
