Smartfeld

In Switzerland, the Foundation supports initiatives that help schools and teachers engage more confidently with artificial intelligence and digital learning. An example is Smartfeld, an education initiative that works with schools and educators to explore how AI tools can be integrated into teaching and learning in practical, responsible and future-oriented ways. Through teacher training, co-creation and curriculum innovation, the programme helps prepare young people for rapidly evolving educational and employment environments.

Child’s Dream

The Foundation supports partners working to expand educational and economic opportunities for young people from underserved communities in the Mekong region.

One example is Child’s Dream, which works with children and young people across the region to strengthen access to education, skills development and pathways into employment and entrepreneurship. The partnership reflects the Foundation’s wider focus on helping young people build sustainable futures while contributing positively to their communities and society.

The collaboration also aligns with the Foundation’s interest in locally rooted approaches designed to create long-term social impact with practical pathways towards sustainability and scale.

IdéeSport and Active Week

The Foundation supports IdéeSport and its Active Week programme, which gives children the opportunity to enjoy movement, play and community during the school holidays. Delivered in collaboration with companies and municipalities, the programme offers children a positive and engaging holiday experience while also helping ease the pressure on working parents during school breaks. The partnership reflects our broader interest in approaches that strengthen inclusion, active living and positive experiences of sport from an early age.

Alongside programme support, we are working with IdéeSport to explore how successful participation models can become more sustainable and scalable over time. This includes discussions around incentives, blended finance approaches and potential pathways for broader adoption through municipalities, public sector actors and other partners.

The initiative reflects the Foundation’s wider interest in supporting entrepreneurial approaches that combine social participation with long-term viability and local ownership.

Hospital at Home

This initiative is one example of how the Foundation supports innovative models that can help shift health systems towards more preventive and people-centred models of care.

In Switzerland, we have supported partners working to advance hospital-at-home models in Basel-Landschaft, including through catalytic funding, communications support and policy engagement. In 2025, these efforts contributed to a canton-level decision to invest significant public resources into further implementation and research around the model. In 2026 the Foundation agreed to co-finance an implementation study on how best to integrate hospital-at-home care into the local Swiss health system.

The initiative explores how appropriate treatment and recovery can increasingly take place in people’s homes and communities, while remaining connected to professional care and support systems. Beyond individual projects, the wider aim is to help create scalable and financially sustainable models that could strengthen prevention, quality of life and long-term system resilience across Switzerland.
