East Meets West Through Debate

东西文化通过辩论交汇 

Willamette University is very excited to announce a major project to support British Parliamentary Debater in the Peoples Republic of China. Willamette University will partner with five other Universities in the Western United States to support this project.  These universities include: George Fox University and Linfield College in Oregon, Pacific Lutheran University and the University of Puget Sound in Washington, and Regis University in Colorado. The six universities, including Willamette. will join with IDEA -- the International Debate Education Association -- to support approximately 23 major events each year for then next three years in the Peoples Republic of China.  

威拉美特大学高兴地宣布，我们将在中国开展推广英国议会制辩论的重大项目。本校将与其它五所美国西部大学合作：俄勒冈州的乔治福克斯大学、林菲尔德学院、华盛顿州的太平洋路德大学、普吉特大学和科罗拉多州的瑞吉斯大学。这六所大学将和IDEA，即国际辩论教育协会，今后三年内在中国每年支持大约23项重要活动。

We are in the process of creating partnerships among the six US universities and six or more Chinese universities in what are now loosely defined regions including the cities of Beijing, Xi'an, Shanghai, Wuhan, Chengdu, Nanning, and Dalian. Our plan is to offer a training of teachers and four debate tournaments in or near each of these seven regions.  Additionally, we plan to offer the China Open and the Advocacy Institute for a total of 23 events per year.  

除六所美国大学和中国大学之外，我们正在这些城市内或附近区域寻找更多的合作大学：北京、西安、上海、武汉、成都、南宁和大连。我们计划在这七个区域中的每个区域，开展对辩论培训师的培训，和四次辩论赛，另外还有中国辩论公开赛和国际辩论培训班等每年总共23项活动。

As we develop this project further, we will add details to this website.  In the meantime, if you have questions about this project, please feel free to direct them to me at trapp@willamette.edu.  

Looking forward to working on this project for our mutual benefit.
