We’re proud to be part of the Social Bugs project — an Erasmus+ initiative exploring how insect farming can drive social entrepreneurship and open new opportunities for vulnerable communities.
🧩 At European Strategies Consulting (ESC), we specialize in correctional reform, social inclusion, and training for professionals in the prison and probation sectors. As researchers and trainers, we bring a unique blend of evidence-based methods and practical tools to support reintegration and community safety.
🔍 Our role in Social Bugs? ESC will contribute with its expertise in:
– Research and evaluation of cross-sector collaboration between the edible insect market and the social and solidarity economy (SSE);
– Designing vocational training programs that empower vulnerable citizens with insect farming skills;
– Supporting social entrepreneurs to build sustainable, socially-driven insect-based businesses.
🚀 Through this project, we aim to co-create a more inclusive, circular, and climate-conscious Europe — one cricket at a time.
📚 Led by Professor Ioan Durnescu and a dedicated team of sociologists and researchers, ESC ensures that every step is informed by academic rigor and grounded in community realities.
