Bildungsnetzwerk China gGmbH

The Bildungsnetzwerk China is an innovative initiative dedicated to strengthening China competence in German schools and intensifying the exchange between young people from Germany and China.

The main mission of the Bildungsnetzwerk is to equip young people in Germany with comprehensive knowledge and skills about China to strengthen an informed and conscious engagement with China and the German-Chinese relations in the long term. This takes place against the backdrop of the growing global significance of China as a political, economic, and cultural actor and the necessity to overcome prejudices and distance in German society[1][2][3].

The Bildungsnetzwerk offers a variety of services for schools, teachers, students, and parents:

• Financial and Content Support: Financial support measures and content offerings for secondary schools of all types to establish or expand engagement with China.
• Exchange Encounters: Promotion of the School Partnership Fund Germany – China to enable exchange encounters between German and Chinese youth.
• Teacher Training and Teaching Materials: Training for teachers and provision of teaching materials to support lessons about China.
• Networking: Platform and point of contact for schools, teachers, companies, universities, and associations to promote networking[1][2][3].

The Bildungsnetzwerk works closely with various institutions to pursue its goals sustainably:

• Cooperations: Collaboration with ministries and authorities of education, the Federal Foreign Office, the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, and the Conference of Ministers of Education.
• Support from Renowned Organizations: The initiative is a joint effort of the Mercator Foundation and the Goethe-Institut.
• Long-term Impact: By promoting China competence and intercultural learning, the network contributes to the personal development of young people and the improvement of German-Chinese relations[2][3].

The Bildungsnetzwerk is constantly active in the development and implementation of projects and events that promote exchange and intercultural learning. Examples include digital events on topics such as anti-Asian racism and the provision of learning materials such as learning posters[4].

Through its comprehensive offerings and initiatives, the Bildungsnetzwerk China makes an important contribution to education and cultural exchange between Germany and China.
