2008 Skoll World Forum
Social Edge blogs the fifth annual Skoll World Forum at the Saïd Business School in Oxford, March 26-28, 2008.
The 2008 Skoll World Forum has wrapped up, but you can still virtually attend this pivotal social entrepreneurship conference by visiting Social Edge. A team of Skoll Scholars blogged every session and a roving group of three Berkeley Bloggers will brought home the bottom line from this year’s forum.
The 2008 Skoll World Forum sessions were centered around the theme of Social Entrepreneurship: culture, context and social change. If social entrepreneurship is truly about “changing the world”, then what are the cultural and contextual barriers that social entrepreneurs need to overcome to create sustainable change in the areas where they work? To what extent does culture accelerate or inhibit change, innovation, and scale? How can social entrepreneurs best evaluate the contexts in which they operate? What are the opportunities and models of success? And, at the most practical level, what mindsets and tools are needed for social entrepreneurs to work successfully across different cultures and contexts?
Check out the amazing agenda below. We have pulled together information on each of the topics so you can do some background reading on the topics of interest to you. We have video of some of the sessions, with more coming soon!
