Social enterprise: a brighter future for schools?

15 April 2010

On 15 April Social Enterprise London ran a conference focussing on the current practice and potential of social enterprise in schools. Featuring an outstanding range of speakers, with expertise across the education and social enterprise movement, the conference was an outstanding success.

Social Enterprise London CEO (and conference chair) Allison Ogden-Newton wrote a follow up comment piece in the Guardian Public, and a piece on her blog. Social Enterprise Magzine also covered the conference in detail.
