Skoll Forum: Luksic Foundation Participates in Renowned Social Innovation Event
Over the course of three days, leaders from foundations, social organizations, academia, and the public and private sectors gathered in Oxford to address global challenges and share their experiences and lessons learned on the subject.
The Luksic Foundation was the only organization from Chile to attend the Skoll World Forum, an annual event held at the University of Oxford, which, from April 21 to 24, brought together key players in the global impact ecosystem to accelerate solutions to universal challenges.
During the forum, the Foundation participated in various sessions on education, philanthropy, and social innovation. Macarena Cea, general manager of the Luksic Foundation, held several discussions focused on education, philanthropy, and social innovation; while Isabella Luksic, vice president of the Foundation, served on the panel “Redefining Partnerships Between Funders and Social Entrepreneurs: From Transactions to Trust to Drive Collective Action Together,” where the discussion explored how to build trust-based partnerships to generate collective impact.
“Events like this allow us to share best practices, identify global trends, and strengthen strategic partnerships among organizations that face complex social challenges and work toward a common goal: promoting people’s development and well-being,” said Macarena Cea, general manager of the Luksic Foundation.
This latest edition of the Skoll World Forum featured more than 100 speakers—including global leaders, activists, and entrepreneurs—among whom Juan Manuel Santos, former president of Colombia; Heather Gerken of the Ford Foundation; Richard Gere, Founder and Chair of The Gere Foundation; and Trevor Noah of the Trevor Noah Foundation, among others, for their contributions and work on social programs related to issues such as education, entrepreneurship, artificial intelligence, and climate change.
