As part of the European project TOUCH, which aims to develop an outcome-based financing model, Torino Social Impact and the project partners have launched “TOUCH CAPACITY LAB”, a capacity-building programme designed to strengthen the skills of organisations that promote the labour-market integration of NEET young people.

The initiative was presented on 24 October during a webinar dedicated to exploring innovative social finance tools designed to open new opportunities for the social economy and create strong partnerships with public and private actors.

The online event offered a valuable opportunity to delve deeper into outcome-based finance, thanks to the contribution of Torino Social Impact’s spokesperson Mario Calderini, as well as to hear significant insights from international experts such as Conor Sullivan of  Bridges Outcomes Partnership and Bjorn Vennema of  Social Finance The Netherlands. We were also pleased to hear the experience of  Refugee Team, an impact-driven enterprise that has already taken part in an innovative outcome-based mechanism, the Brabant Outcome Fund.

Together with the partners of the TOUCH project, we were also delighted to present the TOUCH CAPACITY LAB call, aimed at selecting 25 organisations that will participate in a capacity-building programme designed to strengthen the skills of entities supporting NEET youth employment.

The deadline for the TOUCH CAPACITY LAB call call has been extended to 15 December. To apply, just fill out the online form.

For those who were unable to attend the webinar, the full video recording is available here.
