Since 2022, the Limmat Foundation has been operating a partner network for organizations carrying out social projects. Twice a year, the Foundation hosts interactive online sessions on relevant topics, offering professional development opportunities for staff of social organizations and supporting their institutional empowerment. Expert speakers are invited to share insights on specific topics. The presentations are followed by interactive discussions in small virtual breakout groups or in a plenary session, fostering deeper reflection and exchange.

The most recent session took place on the 9th of April 2025 and was led by Rafael Medeiros, CEO of comunicação aberta. His presentation, “Social Impact with Artificial Intelligence,” offered a comprehensive introduction to the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the Third Sector. Through clear explications and practical examples, participants deepened their understanding of key concepts such as Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Data Science, and Generative AI. The session also addressed challenges, strategies and opportunities for effectively integrating AI into social impact work.

If you are interested in joining the next online session or to access the recordings, which are available after some days of the session, please contact Ana von Bock (vonbock@limmat.org).
