Project narrative

On June 19, 2007, the Confucius Institute Headquarters (Hanban) and Daebul University (大佛大学) signed an agreement to establish the Confucius Institute at Daebul University (大佛大学孔子学院.). 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. In 2007, Daebul University and Qingdao University (青岛大学), the cooperating partner, signed a supplementary implementation agreement. Qingdao University agreed to provide one or two visiting scholars annually, donate teaching materials, and receive student study groups. The Confucius Institute began operations November 14, 2007 and it was officially established on November 22, 2007. Daebul University was renamed as Sehan University (世翰大学). The Confucius Institute at Daebul University oversaw the following two Confucius Classrooms: -ID#103104: Jinseong Girls’ High School -ID#103105: Muan High School
