Skoll | Rethinking Possible
To solve the world’s most pressing problems, we need to trust those closest to the challenge. These are the solutions, people, and organizations making our world a better place for everyone.
This is Rethinking Possible, stories from the frontiers of radical change, created by Skoll Foundation and Big Think.
Social innovation offers a transformative approach to tackling global crises by empowering those closest to the problem. Unlike top-down solutions, it fosters collaboration between communities, businesses, and governments to create scalable, lasting change. In healthcare, training local health workers has improved rural medical access, while Indigenous groups have used technology to protect rainforests. By rethinking possibilities and challenging the status quo, social innovation paves the way for systemic solutions that drive meaningful progress.
Rethinking Possible’s companion podcast is a radically honest and fresh conversation about how transformational social change actually gets made and who makes it. Hosted by Courtney E. Martin and Nguhi Mwaura, and brought to you by the Skoll Foundation in partnership with Aspen Ideas.
The Skoll Foundation presents the Skoll Awards for Social Innovation each year to a select group of social innovators whose work targets the root causes of societal problems that are ripe for transformational social change.
