Skoll Forum: Fundación Luksic participates in leading global social innovation gathering
Over 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 insights.
Fundación Luksic was the only organization from Chile to attend the Skoll World Forum, an annual event held at the University of Oxford. From April 21 to 24, the forum brought together key actors from the global impact ecosystem to accelerate solutions to shared global challenges.
During the forum, the Foundation took part in various sessions on education, philanthropy, and social innovation. Macarena Cea, CEO of Fundación Luksic, took part in multiple conversations focused on these topics. Meanwhile, Isabella Luksic, Vice Chair of the Foundation, participated in the panel “Redefining partnerships between funders and social entrepreneurs: from transactions to trust to drive collective action,” which explored how to build trust-based partnerships to generate collective impact.
“Spaces like this allow us to exchange best practices, identify global trends, and strengthen strategic alliances among organizations that are addressing complex social challenges and working toward a shared purpose: advancing development and well-being,” said Macarena Cea, CEO of Fundación Luksic.
This latest edition of the Skoll World Forum featured more than 100 speakers—including global leaders, activists, and entrepreneurs—such as 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, recognized for their contributions to social programs in areas such as education, entrepreneurship, artificial intelligence, and climate change.
