The Foundation for Social and Economic Initiatives (FISE) is an independent non-profit organisation created in 1990. FISE’s mission is the creation of descent job opportunities for every person, who would want to work and develop, with special focus on those who are at risk of social exclusion. Since 2005 FISE have been animating discussions among NGOs, public administration and business about the development of the social economy sector in Poland. In 2016 we started new activities focused on social innovations search, especially in the field of supporting NEETs in getting an employment.
