Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

In 2018, the Confucius Institute Headquarters (Hanban), Borlänge municipal government, and Wuhan education system (武汉市市属教育系统) signed an agreement to establish the Borlänge-Wuhan Friendship City Confucius Institute. As part of the agreement, Hanban is obligated to provide teaching materials, an annual fund, and numbers of Chinese instructors. The funds are dispersed through a local Bank of China account or other approved bank account created by the institute. The agreement has a 5-year validity and automatically renews at the end of every 5-year term. On April 17, 2018, Borlänge municipal government and Jianghan University (江汉大学), the cooperating partner, signed a supplementary implementation agreement. Jianghan University agreed to provide one or two visiting scholars annually, donate teaching materials, and receive student study groups. The Confucius Institute was officially established on September 27, 2018. It is also known as the Wuhan-Borlänge Sister Cities Confucius Institute.

Staff comments

1. The Chinese name of the Confucius Institute is 武汉－博伦厄友好城市孔子学院. 2. The precise establishment date of this Confucius Institute is unknown. For the time being, AidData has coded the commitment_year field as 2018 as this was the year the Confucius Institute it was established and marked the committment_year_estimated? field as True. This issue merits further investigation.
