On August 29 and 30, 2025, the 2nd Betreuungsdienst-Symposium “Betreuungsdienst in stürmischen Zeiten – Krise oder Chance?” (‘Care services in turbulent times – crisis or opportunity?’) will take place in Bad Wildungen. Experts and leaders from civil protection, representatives from politics, science, and administration, as well as industry exhibitors, will come together for the second time to strengthen, educate, and network the care service – at the highest level and across organizations. The 2025 symposium will focus on current challenges such as armed conflicts, innovations in civil and disaster protection, extreme weather phenomena, and climate research, all of which are testing the resilience of civil and disaster protection.

At the first symposium in 2023, the DKKV actively supported the event with the participation of Ms. Winkhardt-Enz as a panelist. The event itself was a very enjoyable and enriching experience. The program for the 2025 symposium, as well as further information, can be found here.
