The University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at Mānoa<\/a> is bringing together 300 directors of North American and Oceanian Confucius institutes to Honolulu for the Joint Conference of North American and Oceanian Confucius Institutes on June 21–22.<\/p>\n

The two-day conference, to be held held at UH<\/abbr> Mānoa and the Waikīkī Beach Marriott Resort and Spa<\/a>, will focus on “The Sustainable Growth of Confucius Institutes.”<\/p>\n

Delegation from the People’s Republic of China is to be led by Madame Xu Lin, member of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference<\/a> National Committee, counselor of the State Council of the People’s Republic of China<\/a> and director-general of the Hanban Confucius Institute Headquarters<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Participants include 20 university presidents; approximately 240 Chinese and host-country directors of 107 U.S. Confucius Institutes, 12 Canadian Confucius Institutes, and 17 Oceanian Confucius Institutes; around 20 delegates from 15 U.S. and five Oceanian Confucius classrooms; and approximately 10 members of boards of the Asia Society and the College Board in the U.S.<\/p>\n

The Chinese government supports more than 400 Confucius Institutes around the globe, a quarter of them are concentrated in North America. They promote instruction in Chinese language and culture from pre-school to post-university levels and have been instrumental in the striking growth in Chinese language instruction in the U.S. in the past decade.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
