WHAT DO FORMER PARTICIPANTS HAVE TO SAY:

"The wonderful support of the UpRising staff alone would be a sufficient reason to recommend applying to the programme, but they are just the first reason. The programme has exposed me to so many new ideas, so many brilliant new people and so many new opportunities. By challenging me throughout, it has really changed my perception of what is possible in the future." - Tom

"My main realisation has been that introversion and leadership aren’t mutually exclusive. I think I have always been quite self-aware and I have a tendency to be self-critical if I am not as extroverted as others. Now I feel more content in thinking before I speak and being more reserved in big groups. I found it interesting and inspiring how many of the guest speakers spoke about their introversion and how they have been on journey of realisation that it need not hold them back from leadership." - Charlotte

"I have spent a decade in education, almost all of which would be done in isolation. I would never opt for group work and would actively shy away from networking events. Thankfully, I was welcomed onto the programme and my outlook on my studies quickly changed. I was amongst passionate, exciting and likeminded people who were as driven to succeed as much as I was. The course showed me that sharing ideas and challenges with colleagues can help you overcome them much quicker. Finally, the programme provided me with opportunities to network, putting me in direct contact with industry leaders and experts, something which I would have never done on my own. Thank you to the Uprising Team, the programme was a worthwhile and rewarding experience." - Louis

"It has been enlightening to see what kind of social action is needed and what actors and businesses in the community actually want. I also have been able to see what the most effective way for me to contribute is and what skills I can bring to social action campaigns and groups." - Hannah
