  • Quarterly Activities Report
    Quarterly Activities Report 1) ACTION PLAN Mandate Given to the President The Secretariat-General and the regional secretariats have embarked on a reflection about the function and positioning of the secretariats with respect to the proposal to create Metropolis “offices”, particularly in China and India, but not only there. This work will make it possible to deliver on the mandate which the Board of Directors gave the Metropolis President after the Action Plan was adopted at the Porto Alegre Congress of 26 November 2011. The reflection was structured on the basis of the following questions: ● What is a regional secretariat (RS) in the Metropolis organization? What responsibilities does it have? What are its missions and tasks? What human and financial resources are required to perform these missions? Where do the resources come from? ● What is a Metropolis Office (MO)? What responsibilities does it have? What are its mission and tasks? What human and financial resources are required to perform these missions? Where do the resources come from? ● What is the best form of collaboration that can be achieved between the RSs and the MOs? Is there a hierarchical link between the two structures? If not, how are their relations organized? ● What modifications should be made to the articles of association and Metropolis’s internal regulations, considering the abovementioned approaches? A working meeting is scheduled in São Paulo on 15 June to prepare a common response from the secretariats. 1 Metropolis Initiatives Following a considerable publishing effort, the eight initiatives can now be consulted on the Metropolis website. Contracts have been drawn up to formalize the relations between Metropolis and the heads of the Initiatives, and the contracts are ready to be signed.

    ATTACHMENT B ATTACHMENT B REPORT ON 30TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE SYDNEY-GUANGZHOU SISTER-CITY RELATIONSHIP ATTACHMENT B Overseas Travel Report 30TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE SYDNEY-GUANGZHOU SISTER-CITY RELATIONSHIP — Report for Lord Mayor Clover Moore & Councillor Robert Kok EXECUTIVE SUMMARY From Sunday 29 May to Friday 3 June 2016, as Lord Mayor I led a 100-person delegation to China with Councillor Kok for a Sydney Week in Guangzhou to celebrate the 30th anniversary of our Sister City relationship with Guangzhou. Over the past 30 years, there have been many successful visits between the two cities, furthering our economic and cultural relations. In May 2014, I signed a memorandum of understanding with former Mayor of Guangzhou Chen Jianhua, further strengthening ties and collaboration on education, trade, culture, business and sustainability. Sydney and Guangzhou are natural partners. Both are outward-looking, economically-dynamic cities with thriving services and innovation sectors. This milestone presents a significant opportunity to promote Sydney’s global economy and world-class cultural institutions in southern China. Guangzhou is a city of over 13 million people, in a province of 110 million. We have close historic ties and many of our international students, visitors and business partners come from southern China. Image 1: Visit to Guangzhou People's Government with Guangzhou Mayor Mr Wen Guohui. 1 | Page ATTACHMENT B NSW is also a sister state to Guangdong Province. Signed in 1979, the NSW-Guangdong relationship is underpinned by yearly meetings promoting economic collaboration between the two economies. This was a significant campaign promoting Sydney’s economy overseas and our events – a business summit, sustainability forum, alumni reunion, Sydney Symphony concert and art exhibition – provided opportunities to celebrate and strengthen our longstanding economic, cultural and civic connections with Guangzhou.

  • First Place Humanities & Fine Arts
    LIBRARY AWARD FOR UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH First Place Humanities & Fine Arts www.library.ucsb.edu Zheng Chen Dr. Xiaowei Zheng & Dr. Miroslave Chavez-Garcia History Department Reflective Essay In this project, I examined 19th century local literature concerning entertainment and a music genre known as Yüe Ou in Guangzhou, China and its Pearl River delta hinterland. These included poetry and prose collectanea, diaries and travelogues by local poets and notables of Guangzhou. In addition, I also examined numerous volumes of provincial, prefectural and county- level gazetteers of Guangdong, China, covering a time span of two hundred years, from the late Ming (late 17th century) to the mid Qing in (19th century). Overall, this project looks at Yüe Ou, a localist music genre in 19th century Guangzhou’s entertainment world, as a medium that played a vital role in the local elites’ cause to engender and legitimate local identities, valorize local culture, and vitalize social mobility in Guangzhou. Not only did it offer emotional escape for educated elites who failed in the Chinese officialdom, it also justified their merrymaking actions as patrons in a subaltern area of conflicting believes, and served a medium for descendants of migrants to portray themselves as Guangzhou natives and merchants to redefine themselves as members of the educated elites. The way that my research direction and question were determined came in twofold. As a native of Guangzhou and having spent a short childhood in one of its oldest suburb area, I was exposed to the local music tradition outside of Guangzhou’s metropolitan impression. Country folks of my great-grandfather’s generation in their leisure sung Yüe Ou songs on wooden boats anchored by the banks of the Pearl River, and radios in every house with opened doors played the clamor of Cantonese opera.
