40. Chinesisch-deutsches Studententreffen – 2.-4. Oktober 2026 in Georgsmarienhütte bei Osnabrück

Das 40. Chinesisch-deutsche Studententreffen findet vom 2. bis 4. Oktober 2026 im Haus Ohrbeck in Georgsmarienhütte (bei Osnabrück) mit Abschluss in Münster statt.
Fürsorge und Gesundheit im gesellschaftlichen Wandel in China und Deutschland lautet das Thema, mit dem sich das diesjährige Treffen beschäftigt. Dabei betrachten wir Fürsorge sowohl als gesellschaftliche und kulturelle Praxis als auch im Zusammenhang mit Gesundheit, Pflege und sozialer Absicherung. Wir beschäftigen uns unter anderem mit unterschiedlichen Vorstellungen von Fürsorge in China und Deutschland sowie mit den Herausforderungen des demografischen Wandels und der sozialen Sicherung im Alter in China. Am Beispiel des Engagements der Mauritzer Franziskanerinnen in Jinan blicken wir auf die Geschichte und Bedeutung christlicher Gesundheitsfürsorge in China. Ergänzend werden persönliche Erfahrungen aus der Altenpflege in Deutschland und China vorgestellt. In den Arbeitsgruppen besteht an-schließend die Möglichkeit, einzelne Aspekte des Themas zu vertiefen.
