Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

In January 2006, the Confucius Institute Headquarters (Hanban) and University College Dublin (UCD) signed an agreement to establish the UCD Confucius Institute for Ireland. 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 February 15, 2006, University College Dublin (UCD) and Renmin University of China (中国人民大学), the cooperating partner, signed a supplementary implementation agreement. Renmin University of China agreed to provide one or two visiting scholars annually, donate teaching materials, and receive student study groups. The Confucius Institute was officially established in September 2006. It was the first CI to be established in Ireland. The UCD Confucius Institute for Ireland oversaw the following 10 Confucius Classrooms - ID#102522: Loreto College Foxrock - ID#102523: Stepaside Educate Together Secondary School - ID#102524: Belvedere College - ID#102525: Clongowes Wood College SJ - ID#102526: Blackrock College - ID#102528: Our Lady's School - ID#102530: Kildare Town Community School - ID#102537: Dublin Youth - ID#102527: Jesus & Mary College - ID#102588: Galway Education Centre
