RISE is delivering free social enterprise sessions in schools: to raise understanding and awareness of social enterprise, to help make connections with local social enterprises, to encourage social entrepreneurs to develop their ideas and encourage young people to think of social enterprise as a career option. The sessions will be available to secondary schools in Somerset, Bristol and area, Cornwall, as well as Devon. Each interactive session lasts between 45 - 60 mins.
