Oktober 2021
Back to Suzhou at the end of this month, a city I’ve been connected with since 1998, and where I’ve had the privilege to work and learn many times over the years.
In 2011, I brought the Frankfurter Verband into contact with this remarkable city, ancient and ultramodern at the same time. Since then, Suzhou and Frankfurt have been working together for almost fifteen years in the field of care and welfare.
During the first three days of my stay, I’ll be co-delivering a course with Arnoud Engelkes for Chinese care managers, focusing on innovation, implementation and leadership in care.
Suzhou has a long-standing and warm relationship with the Netherlands. Key partners include the Suzhou Social Welfare Institute (SSWI), the oldest care organisation in China, and the Suzhou Municipal Hospital (SMH).
Always special to return to a place where collaboration, mutual learning and friendship come together so naturally. 🇨🇳🇳🇱
