Giving children at primary age a programme where they can see the
opportunities around them helps to encourage high aspirations and inspires them to explore their own futures. Bright Stars is an exciting collaboration between Centre for Leadership Performance, primary schools and local businesses across Cumbria that encourages leadership and responsible entrepreneurship from a young age and builds relationships between businesses and their local primary schools that benefit communities.
Bright Stars is a competition aimed at Primary school children across Cumbria. Each school is partnered with a local business and receives £50. The mission is to set up their own mini business over the course of eight weeks. This year’s objective is:
To make a profit and make a difference – to follow the very
best examples of self-sustaining social enterprise.
Pupils will be judged on the ideas to grow that money and ultimately make a difference to their world and the lives of people around them.
A wide range of companies have been involved with Bright Stars over the years.
