The first annual Skoll World Forum on Social Entrepreneurship took place from March 29 to 31, 2004 at the Said Business School, Oxford University, U.K. The Forum brought together some of the most creative agents of social change who have invented new models that result in sustainable solutions to social problems.
Social Edge: Tell me your name and the organization with?
Rodrigo Baggio: Rodrigo Baggio. My organization is CDI - Committee for Democracy in Information Technology. We created information technology and citizens' rights in schools in low-income areas in 20 Brazilian states and another 10 countries. We have 837 information technologies and rights schools.
As a social entrepreneur, this kind of event, for me, is very, very important. First, because, actually, without events promoted by Ashoka and Avena and Schwab, this is the first event worldwide and big with many different Social Entrepreneurs. For me, it is a great experience and great opportunity to learn with __ people and pragmatic people and other social entrepreneurs and start networking and meet people. So for me it is a learning process to be here.
I've had great days at this event and I hope it is possible to be here again next here at the Skoll World Forum for Social Entrepreneurs.
