“Urban Development, Identity and Heritage”

One of the most important workshops organized by the International Institute of Macau was held on May 2nd, with more than a hundred registered participants, including university professors, architects, students, researchers and civil servants, all interested in “Urban Development, Identity and Heritage”.

A prominent local architect, planner and artist, Carlos Marreiros, co-ordinated the event and the speakers were David Lung, professor of Architecture, University of Hong Kong, Stephen Chan, vice-president of the Cultural Institute of Macau, Eddie Wong, president of the Macau Association of Architects, Wong Sio Kuan, former director and senior officer of the Public Works Dept. of the Hong Kong Government, and Chui Sai Peng, civil engineer and town planner, with a PhD in Urban Planning.

The unanimous opinion was that it was a great success, for the speakers were able not only to explain the theories and practices of heritage conservation vis-à-vis urban development, but they also stimulated debates and an extremely useful exchange of information, opinions and experiences on the identity, value and

education in the definition of strategies for urban planning, heritage and the economy, the sustainability of heritage preservation, cultural identity and cultural development and the need for common sense to save and enrich a common legacy.

One of the main conclusions of the workshop was that there is a need for a closer and more transverse relationship among the public services directly or indirectly involved in urban planning and development, public works and heritage conservation, namely the Cultural Institute, the Institute for Civic and Municipal Affairs, the Public Works Bureau and the Macau Government Tourist Office. Without an adequate, intense and horizontal cooperation, in law making and in the approval of projects, urban development and heritage conservation will always be contradictory objectives.

All the sessions were conducted in English and the closing ceremony was attended by the Secretary for Social Affairs and Culture, Dr. Chui Sai On, and the President of the Macau Foundation, Victor Ng Wing Lok. Jorge Rangel, president of the IIM, opened the workshop and presented certificates to the speakers and participants.

Lusophone and Chinese Poets – First Meeting in Macau

The First Meeting of Poets from China and Portuguese-speaking countries took place in the International Institute of Macau (IIM), from October 7 to 11. The initiative was coorganised by the IIM, the Jorge Álvares Foundation and the National Centre for Culture (based in Lisbon, Portugal), with the support of the Organizing Committee of the First Lusophone Games, the Gulbenkian Foundation and the UNESCO Centre of Macau Foundation.

The main goals of the organisers was to promote and deepen the cultural movement that relates the Chinese culture with the Portuguese-speaking universe, and to establish new links between their respective association. The meeting brought to Macau some of the most distinguished names of the poetic scene in Portugal, Brazil and Angola, namelly Fernando Echevarría, Pedro Tamen, Gastão Cruz, Fernando Pinto do Amaral, Ana Luísa Amaral, Armando Silva Carvalho, Fernando Luís Sampaio, Ana Paula Tavares, and António Cícero. The Nacional Centre for Culture was responsible for the selection.

The Chinese group of poets included well known personalities, both in China and abroad, such as Duo Duo, Lan Lan, Tian Yuan or Yu Jian. The organisation of the meeting benefited from the invaluable collaboration of Yao Jingming, poet and translator, who prepared the selection of the Chinese poets and the translation of poetic texts of participating poets. A book “Poets and Poems”, with a selection of two poems from each of the poets who attended this Meeting.

The topics discussed made an important contribution to the exchange of knowledge regarding today’s poetic trends in the Chinese and Portuguese poetries, reflected the common phenomenon of “poetry’s expulsion from urban centres”, and paved new ways for exchange and future meetings.

The programme of this First Meeting of Chinese and Portuguese-speaking poets also included book presentations, poem declamation and musical moments, as well as informal meetings and dialogues

involving visiting poets and local artists and students.

The third edition of the book of poems “LinTchi-Fá – A Lotus Flower”, written by Maria Anna Acciaioli Tamagnini in Macau´s 1920s, was introduced by the president of the IIM, Jorge Rangel, and the son of the poet, Colonel Mariano Tamagnini.

A series of cultural events enriched the programme. On October 9, a photographic exhibition by the poets Yu Jian and Yao Jingming was opened in the UNESCO Centre, and during the whole period of the Meeting a series of 24 posters depicting and narrating the life of the Portuguese philosopher Agostinho da Silva were exhibited in the IIM, with the participation of Macau’s Elos Club.

The Meeting ended on October 11 with a reception hosted by Portuguese ConsulGeneral, Dr. Pedro Moitinho de Almeida in Macau.

First Lusophone Games

Manuel Silvério elected president of ACOLOP

Athletes from four continents met in Macau in October 2006 for the 1st Lusophone Games, the first major sports event organised by the Association of the Portuguese Speaking Olympic Comittees (ACOLOP), established in mid 2004 in Lisbon, Portugal.

The first vice-president of Macau Olympic Committee, and chairman of the 1st Lusophone Games, Manuel Silvério, was elected president of the Association of Portuguese-speaking Olympic Committees on October 12. His mandate will start in January 2007 for a period of three years.

The Games had the participation of a total of eleven countries and Portuguesespeaking regions, with 760 athletes from Macau, Portugal, Angola, Brazil, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, São Tomé and Príncipe, Mozambique, East Timor, India (Goa) and Sri Lanka. The Games included the modalities of futsal, football, basketball, table tennis, taekwondo, track and field, volleyball and beach volleyball.

Among his immediate goals as president of ACOLOP, Manuel Silvério will promote stronger cooperation mechanisms among participating committees, while promoting the officialization of the Portuguese language as a working language at the International Olympic Committee and at the Association of African Olympic Committees.

Brazil was the most successful country in these Games, with a total of 57 medals, followed by Portugal, with 51. Sri Lanka, Mozambique and Cape Verde have also won gold medals. The third most awarded delegation was Macau, with a total of 14 bronze medals.

The 2009 games will take place in Portugal while India and Brazil are the candidates for the third edition, in 2012.

One of the main challenges facing ACOLOP will be the integration of new members, which will require the clarification of the present admission criteria. The participation of Portuguese-speaking communities in the next edition of the Games will also be included in the ACOLOP agenda. According to Manuel Silvério, interested Portuguese speaking communities should approach the Olympic Committees of the country of residence. Their admittance will ultimately d e p e n d o n t h e i r o w n i n t e re s t a n d dynamism.

IIM’S Identity Award for 2006

! !"#$ !

The Identity Award was created by the International Institute of Macau in 2002 to provide special recognition to personalities or institutions that have contributed extensively to the enhancement of Macau’s cultural identity. The jury for 2006 unanimously decided to present the award to an institution, the University of Macau, and to a personality, Prof. Luís de Guimarães Lobato, honorary president of the Casa de Macau Foundation, in Lisbon.

The University of Macau had a most relevant role in training new leaders and senior professionals for the Macau SAR, helping to make the principle of “Macau being governed by the people of Macau” viable and contributed very positively to the development and preservation of Macau’s cultural identity, while Prof. Lobato is recognized as an exceptional example of citizenship in his long academic and professional career and in the services rendered to the community and to Macau.

Camilo Pessanha

80th anniversary “Camilo Pessanha belongs to Macau and Macau belongs to Camilo Pessanha”, wrote Carlos Morais José in a supplement of local daily “Hoje Macau”, on March 1st. On that day and in commemoration of the 80th anniversary of Pessanha’s demise, a group of citizens decided to pay tribute to this great Portuguese poet who spent most of his life in Macau, living behind poems inspired by sceneries, mysteries, rituals, rhythms, sounds and subtleties of the Orient.

His poetry reflects his way of life in Macau and his knowledge of and attraction to oriental philosophy, spiritualism and mores, into which he gradually immersed himself. It was a form of self-inflicted interior exile that he chose to live in.

Luís Sá Cunha, representing the Elos Club and the International Institute of Macau and Carlos Morais José, from “Hoje Macau” and author of the book “Poesia de Camilo Pessanha”, coordinated the events, promoting a special ceremony at the Catholic St. Michael’s Cemetery, where Pessanha is buried. Other prominent members of local cultural circles and of the Portuguese Community, including the Consul General of Portugal, Pedro Moitinho de Almeida, Carlos Marreiros, artist and architect, Henrique de Senna Fernandes, writer and lawyer, and poets Agnes Lam and Yao Jingming attended.

Portuguese boy scouts and descendants of Pessanha were also present in this very meaningful and touching ceremony, where students recited a selection of Pessanha’s best poems.

A project is now underway to dignify the poet’s grave and the adjoining area in the cemetery.

Macau in the 20s and 30s

! " #$%&

“Macau in the 20s and 30s – my personal recollections” is a very interesting and candid book, written in Portuguese by Maria do Céu Saraiva Jorge and launched in May. The author, born in Lisbon in 1919, is a member of an old and very distinguished Macanese family. She spent her childhood and early days of youth in Macau and was later educated in Portugal. Her vivid memories are of the happy days of the 20s and 30s, of a beautiful and peaceful European city in the Far East. Tranquility prevailed there in spite of the many turmoils in other parts of the region and the charms of old Macau are never to be forgotten by those who had the privilege of living there in those days.

Maria do Céu Saraiva Jorge pursued a very successful career in Education, as a teacher of English and German and was later appointed to a senior position in the Portuguese Ministry of Education. She was awarded a scholarship by the British Council, attended the University of Nottingham and worked in London for the British Broadcasting Corporation.

Several students from the University of Macau and from the Macau Portuguese School took part in this Youth Meeting.

Heritage and Education The International Institute of Macau and the Macau University for Science and Technology have jointly organised, in the context of the 5th International Conference on Adult Education and Social Development, an International Round-table on The Role of Heritage in Determining Macau's Cultural Identity on the 3rd of August 2006.

Macanese evening with Delfino Ribeiro Another Macanese evening took place in May, with Delfino Ribeiro as the speaker.

This series of talks and informal meetings organized by the International Institute of Macau allows prominent members of the community to share their recollections of Macau and their experiences, providing important elements for the preservation of the memory of Macau and contributing to the reinforcement of its identity.

A lawyer and member of a distinguished Macanese family, Delfino Ribeiro was the first inspector of the Judiciary Police in Macau and notary public. He was also Macau’s representative in the Portuguese National Assembly and a member of Macau’s Legislative Assembly. Now retired, he continues to devote time to civic activities and is presently the chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Fundação do Santo Nome de Deus, a private foundation based in Lisbon and responsible for the management of a home for the elderly giving absolute priority to people from Macau.

The session was coordinated by Dr. Jean-Louis Vignuda from the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia-Pacific (UNESCAP), and was attended by experts from the APETIT network (Asia-Pacific Education and Tourism Institutions in Tourism), Macau University for Science and Technology, the International Institute of Macau, the Institute of European Studies of Macau, the InterUniversity Institute of Macau and the Cultural Affairs Bureau.

One of the main conclusions of the debate was the urgency of incorporating history and heritage studies in the curricula of local schools and universities. This is seen as fundamental in order to build up the identity and sense of belonging in a city where 60% of residents have been born in neighbouring regions. Round-table participants have called for a Macau SAR Government intervention to promote education on history and heritage in the education system as well as in the network of local professional and neighbourhood associations.

EAST TIMOR – between hope and despair The International Institute of Macau and the Luso Asian Forum (Fórum Luso-Asiático) have invited the Portuguese-speaking audience in Macau to participate in the debate East Timor – between hope and despair. The debate took place at the IIM on December 15 with two keynote speakers: Moisés Fernandes, Senior Researcher from the Lisbon University and Arnaldo Gonçalves, Assistant Professor at the Macau Polytechnic Institute and President of the Luso Asian Forum.

The 1999’s referendum confirmed the overwhelming will of the East Timorese to gain their independence. The country´s reconstruction was presented as a successful example of United Nations nation-building. One year on, the breaking of a new wave of violence forced the UN Security Council to establish a new force of peacekeeping - UNMIT. How can the international community avoid East Timor´s failure as a state? How to overcome the fragilities of a state that depends on future revenues from oil exploration? These were some of the essential questions on the debate, also analysed from Portugal´s point of view.

Both participants agreed that revenues from oil exploration can be decisive for the consolidation of the state, noting, however, that there is a general lack of p o l i t i c a l c o n d i t i o n s f o r a c o r re c t management and application of the oil funds. Thus, more political instability is plausible.

“Dialogue of cultures: the case of Iruan, a Brazilian boy” was the theme of a most interesting and very touching talk delivered

by Paulo Pereira Pinto, a Brazilian diplomat based in Taipei. It was held at the auditorium of the International Institute of Macau on April 21. Iruan, born in Brazil, spent 3 years in Taiwan, from 2001 to 2004. He adapted himself well but was able to retain the traits of his culture and personality. This is a case that illustrates, the multiculturalism of the Brazilian society, in a country where different cultures can easily coexist and intertwine.

Paulo Pereira Pinto began his diplomatic career in 1976 and was posted to Asia in

Among the most important conclusions of the debate was the idea that the future of East Timor would in part depend on the search of greater dialogue and consensus among the external forces that influence the country´s destinies: Indonesia, Portugal and Australia. But the will of the Timorese people must be clearly expressed and respected.

Macau and Latin America

! " #$

With the presence of Consuls and senior officers of Consulates of South American countries accredited in Hong Kong and Macau, as well as the Consul General of Portugal, a representative of the Office of the Chinese Commissioner for Foreign Affairs and directors of several local institutions, namely the University of Macau, the International Institute of Macau and the Macau Foundation, a new book, entirely dedicated to Macau’s role in the promotion of relations between China and Latin America, was launched in a ceremony that took place at the main auditorium of the Polytechnic Institute of Macau on April 22.

The title is “Macau – Puente entre China y America Latina” (Macau – a bridge between China and Latin America) and the publisher is MAPEAL – Macau Association to Promote Exchanges Between Asia/Pacific and Latin America.

The bilingual Spanish/Portuguese edition, with 321 pages, was coordinated by Luís Sá Cunha, secretary of the International Institute of Macau, and a Chinese version is now also available.

This publication represents a major achievement of MAPEAL in its efforts to attain the objectives established in its charter, helping Macau to open new doors in its relations with South and Central American countries and making good use of Macau’s traditional links with Brazil, Mexico, Peru, Ecuador and Cuba.

Twenty papers and texts included in the book provide the correct answers to three major questions: a) how does Latin America regard its present and future relations with China? b) how does China perceive those relations? c) what can Macau do as a bridge linking these two geographical areas?

Researchers and academics from China, Macau and Latin America wrote those papers and texts, giving insights into the historical background and making prospective overviews, identifying the main aspects of those relations, reviewed from different perspectives. In this context, it is important to note that the opinions expressed by the researchers from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences may reflect the official views of the Chinese authorities on these issues.

Both the president and secretary of the IIM, Jorge Rangel and Luís Sá Cunha, contributed to the book with their own articles and GRULAC (Group of Latin American Consuls Accredited in Hong Kong) prepared the foreword.

The book may be obtained from MAPEAL (Ave. da Amizade, Macau Landmark, room 1109, Macau, tel nº. 356698. fax nº. 355198 and it costs MOP$150,00).

CHINA – AFRICA COOPERATION = =

!

The seminar China-Africa Cooperation: the platform of Macau, an initiative of the Institute of Oriental Studies, Faculty for Social and Political Sciences, Technical University of Lisbon, took place on September 25 at the International Institute of Macau.

Presented by Dr. Narana Coissoró, the president of the Institute of Oriental Studies, Dr. Heitor Romana and Ambassador Duarte de Jesus, the seminar started with a brief identification of the latest developments in the African vector of China´s Foreign Policy.

In this context the Macau Forum for Economic and Commercial Cooperation between China and the Portuguesespeaking countries was generally presented. The positive and negative implications of China´s diplomatic and economic investment in the African Portuguese-speaking countries were assessed while it was noted that the USA and the European Union have concerns on the long term benefits of China´s investment and trade relations for Africa’s sustainable development.

It was also noted that Portugal has lacked the vision and the strategic assessment that may enable it to potentiate its advantages when acting in the business environment of the African Portuguese-speaking countries, with knowledge of the field, local perspectives and ways of doing, social networks and communication skills, and handling of legal and administrative procedures. Ideally, there should be trilateral

partnerships between China, Portugal and the African country in question. Doubt remained as to China´s interest in such innovative partnerships, in which each country would ideally bring its added value to an investment project.

The “Macau Forum” was said to privilege bilateral relationships between China and each of the countries participating. This was considered natural in view of the enormous diversity of socio-economic development levels and geographic dimension. The Forum was described as a multiplier factor for China´s bilateral relations with each of the Portuguese-speaking countries: a multilateral platform for China´s bilateral relations.

This public seminar was organised following the second inter-ministerial conference of the Forum for Economic and Commercial Cooperation between China and the Portuguese-speaking countries, in which the Institute of Oriental Studies participated.

The Institute is conducting a three-year research project (2005-2008) entitled Macau – economic platform between China and Portuguese-speaking countries in Africa, financed by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (Portuguese Ministry for Science, Technology and Higher Education). !"#$%&'()*+,-./

Knowledge regions and innovation in Europe and Asia

!"#$

The International Institute of Macau and the Asia Europe Foundation have co-organised the lecture “Knowledge Regions and Innovation in an era of Globalisation: Challenges and Opportunities for Europe and Asia”, by Dr. Miguel Santos Neves. The lecture, held on September 29, was integrated in the 16th Asia Lecture Tours, Cultures and Civilisations Dialogue Programme of the Asia Europe Foundation.

In the globalisation era, societies and the international community experience major structural changes as they face the emergence of “knowledge society”. The nature of the process of knowledge creation and diffusion leads to the emergence of local and regional economies as highly valuable areas for economic, political and social interaction.

In the international system we can identity simultaneous trends to form macro-regions and micro-regions of “knowledge”. Both in Europe and in Asia, we witness an i n t e n s i f i c a t i o n o f t r a n s b o rd e r a n d transnational networks, such as Catalonia, Baden-Wurttemberg in Europe and the Johor-Singapore Triangle, the South China region, and Osaka and Kyoto in Japan.

Some of these knowledge regions have learned to promote their interests through an autonomous “paradiplomacy”, which has become one of the pillars of their competitiveness in the global economy.

Miguel Santos Neves, PhD from the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), University of London, is currently the Head of the Asia Programme at the Institute of International and Strategic Studies (IEEI) in Lisbon, where he is in charge of various research projects in a wide range of areas such as China-EU bilateral relations, external relations of the SARs of Macao and Hong Kong, EU external relations with Asia, Chinese business communities in Portugal and Europe and Southeast Asian security.

“MACAU – WORLD HERITAGE” A photo exhibition in Fremont, California

Images of Macau in Brazil

The International Institute of Macau held a photo exhibit at the future Macau Cultural Center (MCC) in California featuring colour photographs of Macau’s historic architecture, some of which were listed as World Heritage Site by UNESCO on July 2005. The exhibit gave the local community a glimpse of Macau’s unique blend of Chinese and Portuguese heritage, during the Niles Christmas Parade at the city of Fremont, California.

The photo exhibition “Macau – a Lotus Flower in the Portuguese-speaking world”, organised by the International Institute of Macau, was displayed during the month of June in the city of Jundiaí, in the region of Sao Paulo, Brazil. This exhibit was co-organised with the Camões Institute and a local institution, the Industry Social Service, and it depicts cultural, human and geographic aspects of the Territory.

The photo exhibit entitled Macau Universal Heritage was organised in collaboration with the Macau Cultural Center (MCC) and the Fremont Cultural Arts Council Board during the annual Christmas Tree Lighting parade at Niles Blvd. where the MCC building is located.

The success of this initiative was due to the fruitful cooperation of the institutions involved, and the dedication of several local personalities namely Arthur Britto, former director of Casa de Macau USA, Margaret Thornberry, the President of the Fremont Cultural Arts Council, as well as Robert Tam, Angela Pereira and Ernie Souza. The photo exhibit was a special attraction to the hundreds of participants in the parade. Most visitors had their first contact with Macau in the display. The booklet of the exhibition was distributed as visitors flowed into the gallery.

SUMMER PROGRAMMES FOR CHILDREN

Mandarin classes in IIM New Mandarin classes for adults are b e i n g o f f e re d b y t h e I n t e r n a t i o n a l Institute of Macau since April. A teacher with twenty-two years of working experience, Ms Xialing Duncan, is co-ordinating the programme.

A special course was also designed for young children, with classes on Saturdays.

Tuition will resume in October, after the Summer holidays.

!"#

BILINGUAL PROGRAMME Teaching Mandarin, English and Maths From July 17 to August 25, Professor Xialing Duncan, a highly experienced Mandarin and English teacher who has specialized in children’s learning and development, conducted bilingual summer teaching of Mandarin, English and basic Maths to children from 4 to 6 years old.

Around 15 children from different cultural backgrounds have benefited from Prof. Xialing experience, learning from music, story telling, and innovative teaching.

Summer to Gather – The World in the IIM During the month of July, 25 children, divided in class A (4 to 6 years old) and class B (7 to 10 years) kept in touch with other regions of the world, learning other cultures, habits, music and traditions. For this holiday camp, the IIM collaborated with Brainstorming Creations, a firm formed in Macau by two educators with extensive training and experience in children education and didactic occupational activities related to cultural and environmental awareness.

Children from different cultural backgrounds had an opportunity to gather for the summer, learn from each and other and from a range of cultural, physical and educational activities such as music and theatre performances, interactive games and “big screen” animated sessions. A field trip was conducted in the last days of the Camp to “Macau Water” in order to learn more on the importance of water resources and environmental balance.
