The Client’s Request

Leica's mission: generating social impact through team building

Leica Microsystems, a leading company in its field, was looking for a dynamic and meaningful team building activity that would highlight key values such as inclusion, diversity, and charity. The goal was to design an experience that not only strengthened team bonds but also emphasised the power of making a positive difference in the community — showing how corporate initiatives can have a real, lasting impact.

 

Our Proposal

Charity Building: an innovative, engaging format

For Leica Microsystems, we recommended our well-established Charity Building format — a concept designed to combine fun, teamwork, and social responsibility. The event unfolded in two engaging phases:

In the first stage, participants took part in quizzes themed around Italian gastronomy and culture, along with creative problem-solving tasks — including building a half-metre-high tower using only pasta and marshmallows.

The second phase introduced an unexpected and moving twist. Participants received real components — wheels, pedals, handlebars — and worked together to assemble fully functional wheelchairs. This hands-on activity not only fostered team cohesion but also served a meaningful cause. Once completed and decorated, the wheelchairs were donated to residents of a respected Milanese care home, transforming teamwork into a tangible gesture of compassion.

Results Achieved

Team spirit meets social impact at Leica's event

The event successfully delivered a high-engagement, high-impact experience. Participants enjoyed moments of camaraderie, collaboration, and light-hearted challenge, all while recognising the deeper significance of their efforts. From the fun and games to the powerful act of giving back, the day was a clear example of how team building can evolve into a valuable act of solidarity — one that left a lasting impression on both the team and the wider community.
