Green Action Week is a global campaign that supports local initiatives for sharing, sustainability and stronger communities. More than 35 organisations around the world launched their campaigns to promote Sharing Community as a way of supporting a shift to sustainable production and consumption patterns.
The campaign is hosting a public webinar to share its work, the 2025 theme, how to get involved (with or without funding). Most of all, learn how your own work can contribute to a growing global movement.
The Green Action Week campaign is supported by the Swedish Society for Nature Conservation and Consumers International, with Mycelium co-founders Stefanie Swanepoel and providing communication training and support for the campaign.

Mycelium Media Cooperative brings together the talents, skills, resources and energy of multimedia artists, storytellers and communicators committed to the realisation of a sustainable, regenerative vision for South Africa and the planet.
Our aim is to help create and support a collaborative communication and distribution network of people and organisations working in the regenerative space. This innovative platform hosts a multimedia content creation hub based on collaborative, participatory values.
The cooperative provides a networking and support space for members and affiliates, as well as income-generating opportunities through the creation, distribution and/or exhibition of content that brings to life a regenerative vision across the media spectrum.
We also aim to help young talent grow their skills and make the necessary contacts to enter the workspace and share their regenerative stories.
Ownership of projects is shared between the creators and the cooperative, which provides the following benefits, among others, to members:
Networking, development and training opportunities
Expanded pool of talent to draw from for large projects
Ability to access opportunities beyond the reach of the individual freelancer
Opportunities for employment within the cooperative itself
Potential to negotiate discounts to conferences, seminars etc.
Potential to offer multi-disciplinary courses to learning institutions
A library of media material to use in projects
Potential to grow a library of equipment and resources for use by members
Networking to different platforms for extended reach
A formal structure through which to raise funding for projects
There are seven founding members involved in setting up and growing the cooperative. Membership, however, is open to all multimedia storytellers, artists and regenerators that share our vision of bringing about collaborative and transformative change.
If you are a content creator and work in or want to work in the sustainability and regenerative space or have a great story to tell about creating the world we are dreaming of, contact us.
