Liechtenstein is to get a new climbing hall for renowned ice climbers. The Liechtenstein Alpine Club (LAV) has been campaigning for its construction for ten years. However, there have been repeated changes to the project. After all the procedures had already been completed, the municipalities of Schaan and Vaduz recently decided to build the hall on Vaduz municipal land after all. As a result, statements on financing will have to be submitted to parliament again. 80 percent of the CHF 6.23 million funding is secured by the state, while 20 percent must be raised by the eleven municipalities involved and through donations. The Pro Humanitate Foundation is supporting this project. Construction of the climbing hall is due to start in the fall of 2025.

Stiftung Pro Humanitate supports the Liechtenstein Foodhouse – the Princely Mountain Snuggery project.

In August 2023, the „World Scout Jamboree“ will take place in South Korea. The jamboree is a large-scale scout camp where up to 50,000 participants from all over the world come together. The aim of the jamboree is to teach the 14 to 17-year-old participants scouting values, show them other cultures and ways of life and allow them to take on responsibility.

In recent years, so-called foodhouses (restaurants and cafés) have been established. These foodhouses represent the country from which they are run and offer traditional dishes. The aim is to create an intercultural exchange in this way. This is a good opportunity for participants, leaders and staff to get to know other cultures.

The „Scout Foodhouse Liechtenstein“ association held its first foodhouse at the 2011 Jamboree in Sweden with great success. The preparatory and follow-up work carried out, the experience gained and the knowledge acquired provide the Foodhouse 2023 project with the necessary foundation to tackle the implementation of another Liechtenstein foodhouse.

Stiftung Pro Humanitate supports the Zürcher Kantonale Nachwuchsschwingfest.

The Zürcher Schwingclub organizes the Zürcher Kantonale Nachwuchsschwingfest in the city of Zurich. At the Zürcher Kantonale Nachwuchsschwingfest, young wrestlers have the opportunity to wrestle in a fantastic arena. In addition, the Schwingklub Zürich organizes the annual Berchtold-Schwinget on 2 January in the Saalsporthalle Zürich, which attracts around 500 young wrestlers from all over north-eastern Switzerland.

On December 12, 2021, Ingeborg Gross would have turned 90. She lost the battle against her severe illness in her 87th year, but her impressive life’s work and forward-looking succession planning ensured a heritage for future generations, which will be preserved and implemented by the Ingeborg Gross Foundation. Mrs. Ingeborg Gross was a strong entrepreneurial personality.

She had no commercial education. But she had a flair for business – and for people.

She entrusted the preservation and realization of her will to her foundation, as well as to its managing director for many years. And thus laid the foundation for a secure future of the Schill+Seilacher Group, for the benefit of those who work for the company as well as for the benefit of the general public. Just as she wanted.
