Einsteigen bitte: Das Konfuzius-Institut der Uni Graz stellte sich in der City vor

Das Konfuzius-Institut der Uni Graz ist auf Schiene: Und das buchstäblich mit einer Gratis-Fahrt in einer Oldtimer-Tram, die am 4. Oktober 2017 anlässlich des weltweiten Tages der Konfuzius-Institute durch Graz fuhr. In der Tram konnten die Fahrgäste sowohl die Aktivitäten des Konfuzius-Instituts der Uni Graz kennenlernen als auch Schmankerl der chinesischen Küche verkosten.
Ebenfalls mit an Bord: Stadtrat Günter Riegler, Vizerektor Martin Polaschek, der Leiter des Konfuzius-Instituts der Uni Graz, Wan Jie Chen, sowie eine chinesische Delegation der Partneruniversität Jiangsu.

Fast 400 Konfuzius-Institute gibt es mittlerweile in mehr als 100 Ländern, die neben der Kultur des „Reichs der Mitte“ auch die chinesische Sprache vermitteln. Chinesische Traditionen wie Kalligrafie, Kampfkunst, Feng-Shui oder auch TCM (traditionelle chinesische Medizin) gehören zu populären Exportschlagern, die auch im Konfuzus-Instituts der Uni Graz stark nachgefragt werden.

Ein sportliches Angebot  können Interessierte bereits morgen, Freitag, den 6. Oktober 2017 ausprobieren. Und zwar mit Meister Yu Chang Fu aus Qingdao/China, der Grundübungen, Anwendungen und eine Sequenz aus einer Taiji-Fächer-Übung zeigt. Bereits in der Ming und Qing-Dynastie integrierte man Wushu (Kampfkunst) und Fechten in die Bewegungen mit Fächern. Schließlich entstand eine Sportart mit faltbaren Fächern und Wushu-Elementen, einer Mischung aus Kunst, Fitness und Verteidigung.

In hot water: New Report reveals record losses in glaciers, permafrost and snow cover

Climate change is driving up temperatures not only in summer. Winters are also getting warmer – with dramatic consequences for glaciers, permafrost, snow cover and the freezing of lakes. The recently published cryosphere report provides specific figures for Austria. “Our monitoring shows a clear trend with record losses of ice and snow,” says project leader Wolfgang Schöner from the University of Graz.

Theologian at the University of Graz: What the excommunication of the Society of St Pius X

Following the schism involving the Society of St Pius X, there is a need for discussion. Bernd Hillebrand from the University of Graz explains why the Vatican took this step, what role anti-democratic tendencies play, and why the Society’s sacraments are no longer recognised as valid under canon law for Catholics with immediate effect.

“HeinrichBiCool”: University of Graz demonstrates the effects of green facades and roofs

The University of Graz has launched a pioneering project at the University Centre for Theology. Its name, “HeinrichBiCool”, says it all: a comprehensive system of green facades and roof will cool the building at Heinrichstraße 80 during the summer. At the same time, this will create a new habitat for plants and animals, helping to increase biodiversity. The accompanying monitoring programme will provide detailed data on the impact of the measures on indoor climate, energy consumption and biodiversity. The findings will lay a scientifically sound foundation for further projects aimed at making cities sustainable, climate-resilient and liveable. The partners in this project, funded by the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG), are AEE INTEC – Institute for Sustainable Technologies, Technisches Büro Siegfried Stark, the landscape architecture and urban planning firm “studio boden”, and Ökoteam Graz.
