Copenhagen, Denmark — May 2026 — Foundever.org participated in the Philea Forum 2026, one of Europe’s leading gatherings for foundations, NGOs, philanthropy networks, and social-impact leaders, reinforcing its commitment to creating opportunities through education, employability, digital inclusion, and AI literacy.

Held in Copenhagen, between 18 and 21 May, the Forum brought together organizations from across the global philanthropy ecosystem to discuss some of the most pressing societal challenges shaping the future, including AI, digital transformation, democracy, climate resilience, youth empowerment, and the future of work.

For Foundever.org, participation represented an opportunity to strengthen relationships within the international philanthropy ecosystem, benchmark emerging approaches to social impact, and explore future collaborations aligned with its mission of expanding access to opportunity through practical implementation and partnership-driven programs.

The Forum reinforced how strongly the future of social impact is becoming connected to collaboration, long-term partnerships, practical implementation, and ecosystem-building,” said Mariana Victorino, Global Operational Director at Foundever.org. “Many of the discussions around AI literacy, employability, digital inclusion, and future-of-work preparedness are deeply aligned with the work we are already developing together with local NGOs, volunteers, communities, and clients across different regions.

Throughout the Forum, several discussions focused on the growing importance of responsible AI adoption, digital inclusion, and human-centered approaches to technological transformation. Speakers highlighted the need for organizations to begin experimenting responsibly with AI while ensuring communities are not left behind in the digital transition.

These themes strongly resonate with Foundever.org’s ongoing initiatives focused on:

  • AI literacy and digital skills;
  • Youth employability and mentoring;
  • Women’s digital empowerment;
  • Education and future-of-work preparedness;
  • Community-centered implementation models.

The Forum also reinforced the growing shift within philanthropy toward more collaborative, trust-based, and implementation-oriented approaches, emphasizing the importance of long-term partnerships, local proximity, ecosystem collaboration, and measurable impact.

Foundever.org’s participation included networking with foundations, ecosystem organizations, universities, and NGOs from across Europe and beyond, opening opportunities for future knowledge-sharing, collaboration, and co-funded initiatives connected to education, employability, AI literacy, and digital inclusion.

The event further reinforced Foundever.org’s positioning as a corporate foundation combining practical implementation capacity, operational expertise, international reach, and partnership-driven programs designed to create sustainable social impact through access to education and opportunity. As philanthropy continues evolving toward more systemic and collaborative approaches, Foundever.org remains committed to building partnerships that help prepare communities for the future of work while expanding access to skills, digital inclusion, and meaningful opportunities worldwide.
