Previous commissions
Between the beginning of 2020 and the end of 2023, we carried out the following mandates:
As thinktank for societal issues
- strategic and conceptual development of a new platform to reflect and learn from the societal impact of COVID19, in close collaboration with six foundations: Foundation Mercator Switzerland, Paul Schiller Foundation, Leenaards Foundation, Swiss Society for the common good, Christoph Merian Foundation and Sophie-and Karl Binding Foundation.
- design, facilitation and moderation of a dialogue on the societal impact of COVID19, in the foundation sector between June and November 2021. Swiss Society Lab initiated a three-step process with the Foundation Mercator Switzerland and the Paul Schiller Foundation, in collaboration with SwissFoundations, the main association of non-profit funding foundations in Switzerland. 14 foundation CEOs participated in the process.
In early education
- on behalf of the social department of the City of Zürich, we moderated a round-table with early childhood partners and counsell the team strategically for the follow-up. This was followed by a full strategy process in the area of quality development, as well as the facilitation of a digital workshop with about all field partners.
