In November 2025, the city of Turin officially received the recognition of Compassionate City from Public Health Palliative Care International (PHPCI). Its mission is to encourage community participation in caring for people by broadening and redefining the collective responsibilities of citizens, while engaging institutions to ensure the conditions in which meaningful change can take place.

The first of the Communities of Practice established in 2022, the group of Benefit Corporations affiliated with TSI continues to grow. Each year, participants are involved in the co-design of a training and networking program.

Composed of the Association of Chartered Accountants of Turin, the Bar Association of Turin, the Notarial Council of Turin and Pinerolo, and the Association of Labor Consultants of Turin, the group is facilitated by the Cottino Social Impact Campus.

The participating organizations, representing the public, private, and third sectors, are engaged in a dialogue on gender equality not only as a means to achieve greater fairness but also as a driver for community development, with a particular focus on Gender Equality Certification.

Launched within the framework of the European RESPONDET project, this Community of Practice addresses the need for opportunities for dialogue and joint planning. This led to a shared desire to undertake advocacy and awareness-raising actions within the community.

Aiming to spark initial dialogue around the projects implemented by ecosystem actors, the group has also reflected on the limitations and opportunities of funding for social impact initiatives, drawing on their direct experiences.

Implemented as part of the European project B.Right Spaces, launched in March 2024 and supported by the European Commission under the CERV Programme. Its aim is to strengthen the collective capacity of local public authorities and territorial organisations to support, promote and protect local civic spaces, recognised as key actors in safeguarding democratic values and citizens’ rights.

The Community of Practice aims to continue and enhance the work of the extensive Torino Social Impact Distributed Editorial Team, which brings together communication representatives from organizations within the ecosystem. It does so by establishing a working group with diverse communication skills, collaborating on topics of shared interest.
