GLOBAL COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE
The Autism Swim Network is dedicated to collaborating with and providing guided support to organizations and certified swim instructors in their efforts to develop, implement and maintain autism-specific swim and water safety instruction for children on the autism spectrum.
Social transformation is never the work of a single actor. It is almost always the result of powerful connection and collaboration between innovators, agitators, thought leaders, and those who hold levers of power in business and government.
The Skoll World Forum on Social Entrepreneurship was launched to provide a space to help forge those connections and morph them into real partnerships and impact.
The Skoll Foundation cultivates an ecosystem approach to driving equilibrium change, supporting and creating the conditions for social entrepreneurs’ innovations and models for change to flourish by:
- Investing in those innovations and models when they are ripe to deliver outsized impact and drive large-scale change to create a completely new, more just and equitable equilibrium.
- Building networks, collaborations, and partnerships to help scale the impact of social entrepreneurs.
- Leveraging media and storytelling to drive awareness, learning, and greater impact.
Each year, the world’s most influential social entrepreneurs, key thought leaders, and strategic partners gather at the University of Oxford’s Saïd Business School to exchange ideas and activate solutions.
The Skoll World Forum on Social Entrepreneurship is the premier international platform for advancing entrepreneurial solutions to the world’s most pressing problems. Our mission is to accelerate 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.
Each relationship brings specialized expertise and experience to the table, and they work with us to create innovative solutions that support our commitments to ethical sourcing, environmental stewardship and community involvement. Every one of them plays a part in our success, and they’re crucial to helping us reach our goals.
