Invaluable LGT CAS Projects Collaboration

With a history stretching back over a decade, a prize for the winners presented personally by Old Boy Prince Philipp of Liechtenstein, and a chance to work with the LGT Bank of Liechtenstein, the LGT Project has become a highly anticipated event in the school calendar.

The LGT CAS Project Collaboration affords the IBDP and CP1 students an enviable opportunity to work on their collaborative, planning and entrepreneurial skills. The first event of the 2021/22 LGT CAS Project calendar was held on 13 September 2021. After a brief introduction, the students were taken through the history of Liechtenstein, LGT and the Princely Family. The focus on values and commitment was especially apt as it is also the core of the encouragement that drives students throughout the project. The morning continued with an exploration of successful business plans and a presentation on «LGT Venture Philanthropy: Scaling Positive Impact». The students were particularly interested in the geographical areas of investment and what constituted a successful charity or drive when considering scaling up.

After lunch the tools and processes of «Project Management 101» were discussed. The students assessed hypothetical events and applied their new-found skills, tools and understanding. Workshops continued with initiating, brainstorming and the conceptualization of products and services. The fruits of their labour became apparent in the group presentations: apps to more efficiently share excess food with those in need, potential automated lighting cleaning devices or the redistribution of plastic waste for water housing were some of the inspiring ideas conceived. With an opportunity to draw upon the experience of professionals in the industry of philanthropic endeavor, project management and success, the students appreciate the invaluable insight gained in this opportunity to collaborate with the LGT Bank. An exciting time of development and personal growth lies ahead for them!

Seit 10 Jahren ist die Zusammenarbeit zwischen der LGT Bank und unseren CAS Schülerinnen und Schülern eine Bereicherung des Lyceum Alpinum Zuoz Schulkalenders. Den Preis für das beste Projekt aus den Händen unseres Old Boy’s SD Prinz Philipp von und zu Liechtenstein entgegennehmen zu dürfen ist für alle CAS Teilnehmenden Inspiration und Ansporn.
