This year, we organize our conversations at the Forum around the theme of Fault Lines: Creating Common Ground. Globally, rifts are emerging along cultural, class, and political lines as globalization and the digital revolution have benefited some, and left others behind. The divide grows in how people perceive—and experience—the world, which represents a threat to a peaceful and prosperous future.

Can we design a world where our common humanity outshines our ideological, cultural, and political differences? Together we’ll give rise to new ideas, new perspectives, and ultimately, new relationships built on trust and a mutual desire for human progress. We’ll highlight innovators around the world creating common ground through their drive, creativity, and leadership.

BRENDAN COX TEDXSKOLL FRIDAY 1:30–8:00PM Skoll

Post-truth. Fake news. Alternative facts. The very definition of truth seems to be up for grabs, and our relationship with truth is in a state of flux. New technologies have radically decentralized the means of producing and distributing information. Data, facts, and figures filter through narratives that tap into our emotions and personal beliefs. Give this dynamic, how can we promote critical thinking whilst also cultivating empathy?

The power of a story well told has never been greater, and reality is subject to interpretation and manipulation. Truth, though, isn’t completely mutable. The quest to uncover truth is a bedrock of human history, and some truths are enduring and undeniable.

On Friday 7th April, let’s meet at the Sheldonian Theatre in Oxford for TEDxSkoll Under a 17th century ceiling, we’ll take stock of the concept of truth and its evolving role in social, economic, and political progress. We will hear from those who have harnessed truth as a central driving force in their life and work, and those who have dedicated their life’s work to producing fiction. Together, we’ll explore truth as a concept that is not always easy to find, define, or grasp, and we’ll embrace that challenge as a unifying—and uniquely human—element.
