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.

Special Olympics is committed to ensuring that people with a intellectual and developmental disability develop mentally and physically in a sustainable way through sport. In this way we promote self-esteem, fitness, independence and the courage to dare to try something new. Our events enable shared experiences with other athletes, family members and society.

Athletes Oath

„Let me win. But if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt.“

Core competencies

Special Olympics promotes sports for people with handicaps and changes society by making the following things possible.

• Support sports organisations in establishing sports and exercise facilities for people with disabilities and integrate them socially into the clubs
• Enable organizers of mass sports events to allow people with disabilities to participate in their events
• To organise competitions in 19 sports that give everyone the opportunity to participate and succeed.
• accompany delegations to international competitions and thus provide them with unique moments of success

Values

• SPORTSMANSHIP WITH JOY We believe in the transformative power of sports. We embrace the purity of sports at all levels as we witness incredible personal athletic triumphs that shatter stereotypes.
• ATHLETE LEADERSHIP: We empower athletes to be contributing and respected members of Special Olympics and society. We support athlete-­‐leaders on and off the playing field.
• UNITY: We are united in our commitment to inclusion, respect and dignity. We build communities of acceptance: loving families, inspired employees, coaches, volunteers and fans. We are one Movement, across every community and every country.
• BRAVERY: We live our athlete oath: “Let me win. But if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt.”
• PERSEVERANCE: We are capable, tenacious and resilient. We don’t give up on ourselves or each other.

Ethics Charter

The anchoring of Olympic values and a sustainable development of sport are very important for Special Olympics. Swiss Olympic has drawn up nine principles for this purpose in an Ethics Charter, which are also followed by Special Olympics.

The Switzerland Marathon light is a half-marathon initiated by former Swiss marathon runner Viktor Röthlin. Since 2014, it has taken place on the first Sunday in September. The start and finish of the 21.1 km race around Lake Sarnen is in Sarnen, capital of the canton of Obwalden.

In addition to the half-marathon, there is also a 10 km run, „Viktor Röthlin’s Class Duel“ for school classes (700 to 1100 metres), a 4 km Fun Run since 2017 and a mini run over 400 metres for pre-school children since 2018.
