BELIEF: Skoll World Forum 2015

We all share belief in a better, more equitable world for ourselves, our children, and generations beyond. This conviction drives us—often relentlessly—to find the most effective and innovative solutions that provide real and sustainable opportunities for people to achieve their dreams.

But belief systems have also instigated extreme prejudice, cycles of retribution, and challenges to social progress in communities around the world.

As we work together and collaborate across sectors, issue areas, and geographies, we are deliberately deconstructing negative belief sets, coming together to drive the best of what’s working in the world.
We believe social entrepreneurs and the innovators helping them drive solutions to some of the most pressing problems around the world hold the key to unlocking sustainable human progress.
Join us in exploring this complex and important theme at this year’s Skoll World Forum.

Each year, nearly 1,000 distinguished delegates from the social, finance, private and public sectors convene in Oxford for three days and nights of critical debates, discussions and work sessions aimed at innovating, accelerating and scaling solutions to social challenges.

The Skoll World Forum on Social Entrepreneurship accelerates the impact of the world's leading social entrepreneurs by uniting them with essential partners in a collaborative pursuit of learning, leverage and large scale social change.

The Skoll Foundation drives large-scale change by investing in, connecting, and celebrating social entrepreneurs and other innovators dedicated to solving the world's most pressing problems.
