On May 7, 2025, the OP4Impact Community of Practice gathered at the Cottino Social Impact Campus for a new workshop organized by Torino Social Impact, aimed at highlighting the contribution of Professional Orders to the social impact ecosystem.

After focusing in 2024 on impact from a business perspective, in 2025 OP4Impact shifted its attention to social entrepreneurship, exploring models capable of generating social value and inspiring new forms of collaboration.

The workshop was opened by Caterina Soldi (Cottino Social Impact Campus), who presented the upcoming activities for the year. Then, Enrica Baricco and Marco Canta, President and Vice President of Fondazione Oz, shared a case studybased on their long-standing commitment to inclusion and autonomy for children and families facing vulnerabilities. Through projects such as CasaOz, MagazziniOz, and the more recent Molino, the foundation offers educational, professional, and housing pathways.

Rooted in the philosophy of everyday life as care, Fondazione Oz supports young people from childhood to adulthood, focusing in particular on the issue of independent living and the concept of “after us”, with co-housing and support programs.

During the lab session, the participants from the Professional Orders of Lawyers, Accountants, Labor Consultants, and Notaries analyzed the case from a multidisciplinary perspective: governance, legal protections, economic sustainability, and work inclusion. Each group offered insights on how to strengthen and sustain the foundation’s impact model over time.

The event demonstrated how a Community of Practice can become a generative space for exchange between professionals and Third Sector organizations, helping to build new synergies.
