Wiener Städtische Versicherungsverein invited children from Central, Eastern and Southern Europe to the VIG Kids Camps in Vienna, Salzburg and Carinthia.

Around 500 children from 20 CEE countries (including Georgia, Bosnia, Serbia, Albania, North Macedonia, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania, and Estonia) spent the past 14 days getting to know some of Austria’s most beautiful regions – entertaining senior citizens and planting thuja trees in the process. “Children always find a way to connect – regardless of language or background. I see this for myself year in year out at the VIG Kids Camp, which we are hosting for the 13th time this year. The camp is not only a way for us to express our appreciation for our colleagues – we also want to give their children the opportunity to experience the Group’s international diversity first hand. In the process, we also share the values that connect us as an insurance group: mutual understanding, respect and solidarity,” explained Robert Lasshofer, Chair of the Managing Board of Wiener Städtische Versicherungsverein, the main shareholder of the Vienna Insurance Group (VIG). “The VIG Kids Camp provides fun and adventure for the children in an international setting, while at the same time giving their parents the wonderful feeling – and peace of mind – that their little ones are in safe hands. It’s one of the numerous ways in which VIG lives up to its corporate responsibilities,” noted Hartwig Löger, CEO of the Vienna Insurance Group.
