Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

On May 3, 2007, the Confucius Institute Headquarters (Hanban) and Renison University College signed an agreement to establish the Confucius Institute in Waterloo. 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 December 7, 2015, during the 10th Global CI Conference held at the Shanghai Expo Conference Center, Renison University College and Shanghai International Studies University (SHISU), the cooperating partner, signed a supplementary implementation agreement. The Shanghai International Studies University agreed to provide one or two visiting scholars annually, donate teaching materials, and receive student study groups.
