Social innovators often focus on adapting physical, governmental, or financial infrastructure to address the existential threats facing society. But the emotional infrastructure—the human element—can sometimes get overlooked in the pursuit of change. In an increasingly divisive world, Bridges to the Future shines a light on relationships and community, allowing social innovators and entrepreneurs to show up each day with the support, connection, and humanity needed to do the work that matters most. At the 2025 Skoll World Forum, this humanity was on full display, as we made meaningful connections, nurtured our spirits, and offered grace to those around us. With space for healing and collaboration, we can build bridges across divides and face the future—together. Bridges to the Future was first screened to our community, providing a chance to witness one another in a deeper, more vulnerable way.
