ESU NewsTHE ENGLISH-SPEAKING UNION Creating global understanding through English

The London Debate Challenge works withteachers and pupils across the Capital,helping to set up debating societies withintheir schools. It also helps prepare pupilsto enter a team from their school in a competition to find the best debate team in London.

The Programme is supported by TheLondon Challenge, Coca-Cola Great Britain,The Sir John Cass’s Foundation and, in the

first year, Tesco. ESU Chairman, LordWatson, points out that this sponsorship is possible because companies andFoundations see the huge significance ofestablishing debating in London schools;

"This is bringing debating skills,

with all the freedom and power

of expression involved, to young

people who often have no back-

ground of public speaking. It gives

them the confidence to express

arguments and make their case in

a coherent and disciplined way.

The Programme helps to build

citizenship from the bottom up."

Since the launch of the initiative in October2003, the ESU’s team of London DebateChallenge Mentors has delivered workshopsto pupils from the Boroughs of Croydon,Hammersmith & Fulham and Westminster.Many more are planned for the comingterm in areas including Southwark, Bromleyand Lambeth.

To accompany the workshops, resourceshave been sent to every state secondaryschool in London. A series of professionaldevelopment sessions for teachers havebeen arranged for every Borough, whichwill raise the standard of debating in thecompetitions that are being organised.

Comments Debbie Newman, Head of theCentre for Speech and Debate, "Feedbackfrom the teachers and pupils involved hasbeen overwhelmingly positive. The numberof pupils who have said that they feel it hasbuilt their confidence has been particularlyrewarding for the ESU team and the univer-sity students involved in mentoring."

"The Europe within us": PrinceRadu visits Dartmouth House

Relationships between Dartmouth Houseand ESU Romania have continued to flour-ish, more so since the international visit toRomania in May 2003. In December lastyear, the ESU was honoured to welcomeHer Royal Highness Princess Margarita andHis Serene Highness Prince Radu ofRomania, as guests of honour at a lun-cheon held at Dartmouth House.

Prince Radu spoke on the theme "TheEurope within us" and outlined his hopesfor the future of Romania in the internationalarena. Prince Radu opened using a phrase,coined by an American diplomat, that theAccession Countries saw the EuropeanUnion as a supermarket – they could pickand choose the best pieces of the EU tosuit their needs.

Prince Radu pointed out that Romanianexperiences of supermarkets were very different. During the Communist period,supermarkets in Romania only had shelf

after shelf of mustard. So, to say to aRomanian "you treat it like a supermarket"is to imply that "you only have one choice."

Prince Radu implied that this latter inter-pretation was correct. In his view, therewas a general misconception by theWestern European powers, that former IronCurtain countries were seeking to influencethe EU too much before they joined.Romanian historical experience has alwaysbeen characterised by being at the edge ofEurope, but now, it is seeking to be anactive part of the new EU.

Valerie Mitchell chaired the luncheon andhighlighted the important role that HerRoyal Highness and His Serene Highnesswere playing in projecting the cultural andhistorical aspects of Romania to the world.The Hon. Gerard Noel gave the Vote ofThanks, identifying the importance of therole of the Romanian Royal Family inEurope. Also present at the event were

Mrs SinzianaDragos andCounsellor GeorgeComsa from theRomanianEmbassy.

The Lindemann Committee, chaired byLord Stockton and comprising some of themost prestigious science academicians inBritain, met on 8 January at DartmouthHouse to interview this year’s shortlistedcandidates for the Lindemann TrustFellowships.

The Fellowships are offered to graduates ofexceptional promise in both the pure andapplied physical sciences, and are amongthis country’s foremost science prizes.

For the year 2004/2005 two scholarshipswere awarded. The successful candidateswere Ai-Lan Lee from Cambridge Universityand Bridget Wade, currently undertakingresearch at the University of Edinburgh.Each fellow will receive a grant of $30,000to enable them to undertake scientificresearch in the United States for a year.

In a report submitted to the Committee, Dr Daniel Condon, a 2002 Lindemannscholar who studied at MassachusettsInstitute of Technology, wrote:

"In my opinion perhaps

the most important aspect

of the fellowship is the

independence it has allowed

me as a scientist…… I do not

believe that any other method

of post-doctoral development

would have afforded me the

opportunity to establish myself

in a research field in which

I had no prior experience.

For that I am very grateful

to the Lindemann Trust."

The Committee also gave its support for a conference on "Science and the EnglishLanguage" to be held in March 2005 at Dartmouth House. The event will exemplify the spirit of the Lindemann Trustand the ESU in promoting the exchange ofscientific knowledge and the role ofEnglish.

Primary school pupils debate at CambridgeUniversityFor primary school children, university and the reality of HigherEducation may seem a long way off. But 43 ten-year olds fromTower Hamlets were given the opportunity to experience this forthemselves, when they were taken on a day visit to Cambridge byESU Centre staff, in December 2003.

As well as seeing the sights of Cambridge, the pupils had a touraround Clare College and then took part in a debating workshop inthe Cambridge Union Society Chamber.

After watching a display debate on the motion "This House wouldgo to university", all of the children took part in a Debatathon onthe motion "This House would abolish SATs", which allowed everychild the chance to speak from the dispatch box.

This day was part of the Primary School Debate Programme,generously supported by HSBC Education Foundation. Manythanks to Clare College, the Cambridge Union Society and TowerHamlets Local Education Authority for making such a rewardingday possible.

New York Welcomes the WorldThe English-Speaking Union of the UnitedStates will host the next World Members’Conference in New York City, 6-10 October2004. It will be a four-day fest of stimulat-ing discussion and exchange of ideas withESU members from all over the world. TheESU US has invited renowned writers andscholars to speak and participate.

Between Conference sessions, delegateswill be able to explore this vibrant city with ESU friends. Renowned museumsand galleries, instantly recognizable landmarks, world-class restaurants, shopping opportunities that range fromstreet peddlers to high-end designer boutiques, and every conceivable kind of music and theater experience, are not the only reasons why millions of visitors return to this inimitable city year after year.

Programmatic plans include the launch of the ESU of the United States’ new educational initiative, an international co-operative venture that will involve an Internet component and would accom-modate a diverse group of English speakersat varying skill levels. The Conference willallow both American and global partners to meet and discuss current and future collaboration.

Conference highlights will include dinner at the Yale Club, with spectacular views of the City; the 2004 Ambassador BookAward Ceremony, bringing together authors,publishers, poets and critics to celebratethe American books selected to be shippedto ESUs around the world; and a closingdinner at the historic Ellis IslandImmigration Museum, with the Statue of Liberty and the magnificent New Yorkskyline as the backdrop.

Lord Watson will lead an English-SpeakingUnion Conference entitled "Dimensions of the New Europe", which will be held in Strasbourg on Monday 6 September. It is apt that this Conference should takeplace in this city, which is known as the"crossroads of Europe" and is the seat ofthe Council of Europe, the European Courtof Human Rights and the EuropeanParliament.

ESU France, Strasbourg Branch, will beorganising cultural visits to coincide with the Conference. Strasbourg, with its richand fascinating history dating from Romantimes, offers a wealth of attractions, including a magnificent Romanesque and Gothic Cathedral, La Petite France, with its corbelled, half-timbered houses ofthe sixteenth and seventeenth centuries,and museums of fine arts, decorative and popular arts and archaeology.Strasbourg is also famous for its gastronomy and its proximity to the Wine Route of Alsace.

The Strasbourg Branch is looking forwardto welcoming ESU members to this specialConference meeting and will give you all awarm welcome to their city.

Dates of the visits will be confirmed shortly. For more details, contact the Director-General’s Office.

The ESU hosted a wonderful Mongolianevening, which was attended by HE Mr Dalrain Davaasambuu, the MongolianAmbassador, on 22 January. Guests weretreated to an enlightening lecture on thehistory and culture of Mongolia, and the challenge of Mongolian political andeconomic independence, given by GraemeFife, writer and broadcaster.

The lecture was introduced by SimonMoyle, founder member of ESU Mongolia,and the Mongolian Ambassador also spoke.The evening was rounded off with a marvellous selection of traditional and modern Mongolian songs sung by Enkhjin,the winner of a Mongolian competition todiscover outstanding new talent amongyoung artists. We were delighted to meetstudents from schools and universities atthis most enlightening evening.

In her Vote of Thanks, Valerie Mitchellemphasised the important role the ESUwas projecting in Mongolia today. Proceeds from the evening will go towardsESU Mongolia’s programmes.

When newly-appointed ESU Governor, Chris Redman, mentioned to the Director-General, Valerie Mitchell, that he was planning to visit recent ESU recruit,Madagascar, wheels were rapidly set inmotion to steer him in the right direction.

Letters of introduction were dispatched to Antananarivo, and even before Chris had learned to pronounce the capital’sname, he had antananarrived to a verywarm welcome from ESU MadagascarChairperson, Dr Hary Jeannoda, her

predecessor, Mrs Ginette Randriambeloma,and British Ambassador Brian Donaldson.

The highlight of Chris’s flying visit was not the informal talk he gave to ESU members, but the news that Hary, a leading authority on yams, had just been awarded one of Madagascar’s most prestigious research prizes by the government. Chris reported that “I was able to bask in our Malagasy Chairperson’sreflected glory for the rest of my stay, and I am confident that our new ESU willbenefit enormously too.” Dr Jeannoda is aregular visitor to the Royal Botanic Gardensat Kew and we very much hope that heritinerary will include Dartmouth House onher next visit to Britain so that we canreturn her hospitality.

Although Madagascar, a former Frenchcolony, is a largely francophone country,English is catching on fast, especiallyamong the young. Marc Ravalomanana,the country's new, reform-mindedPresident, has decreed that English betaught in all Malagasy primary schools. We trust this will ensure a steady futureflow of Malagasy competitors in our international public speaking competitions,as well as participants in our summer conferences and other ESU activities andprogrammes.

Please help the ESU andcut costs to yourself...As an independent organisation, the ESU receives no Government grants and we rely on income from

subscriptions, sponsorships, gifts and legacies. Consequently, we draw to your attention, the latest ways

of making tax-efficient donations. It is possible to help the ESU and pay less tax yourself.

These ways include:

GIFT AID. Provided donors complete a simple declaration (that their gift is being made out of taxed income) the ESU will be ableto reclaim tax on all donations – large or small, regular or one-off. Also, donors can telephone their Gift Aid declarations, whichthen become legal on receipt of a confirmation letter from the ESU.

A CHARITIES AID FOUNDATION ACCOUNT. This allows you to open an account with which to make donations to charities ofyour choice. The Charities Aid Foundation can reclaim the tax on your donation and credit it to your account.

GIFTS OF QUOTED SHARES AND PROPERTY. When given to charities, these now qualify for full tax relief, the market valuebeing allowed as a tax deduction. Such gifts also continue to enjoy existing relief from Capital Gains Tax.

PAYROLL GIVING. Under this scheme employees can authorise their employer to deduct donations to charity from their pay beforecalculating PAYE. In this way, the employee gets tax relief athis or her top rate of tax.

LEGACIES. Though seven out of ten people never make a Will it is important to make one and ensure your assets areinherited by the persons or charity you choose, and because of the tax advantages. Gifts to charity are exempt fromInheritance Tax. If you leave your estate in Trust to your husband or wife for their lifetime, stipulating that after theirdeath, the estate will pass to charity, NO TAX is payable. The ESU has prepared a simple guide to making a Will, which we would be happy to send to you, free of charge

For more information on any of these methods

of tax-efficient giving, please complete the form

and return it to the ESU. The ESU values its

supporters, without whom it would not be able

to carry on its work.
