FT and the BBC on social change

24 June 2009

Rooting social entrepreneurship in the journalistic sphere of ‘topics needing more column inches' is always at the forefront of our media team's consciousness.

So we are delighted our hard work in raising the profile of the Skoll World Forum as the annual global event for social entrepreneurs has paid off.

An exclusive, sought after "Lunch with the FT" interview with Ebay founder and one of the world's greatest change-makers, Jeff Skoll, shines a light on how he went from billionaire business man, to the creator of the world's biggest annual gathering of social entrepreneurs.

And the BBC World Service programme, which interviewed live from Skoll, gets to grips with three individuals from the Arab world and the ventures that have brought about positive change for their communities.

It's all about farmers' markets in Lebanon, economic development in Old Cairo and in Palestine and a new kind of education for children struggling in the educational mainstream.
