CCWA is looking for internationally-minded host families for Fulbright scholars from Brazil on February 10-12, 2023.

CCWA will be partnering with Ohio University to host 40 Brazilian Fulbright English language instructors in Cleveland for the weekend. All Fulbright scholars speak English. They are here in Ohio for an orientation program and will come to Cleveland to spend a fun “weekend in the city” with host families. Hosts will pick up their Fulbright scholar on Friday, February 10 at Lakewood Park’s Woman’s Club Pavilion, spend a free day exploring the city and engaging in fun cultural activities, and drop their Fulbright scholar back off at Lakewood Park on Sunday, February 12.

The program will begin with a welcome reception at Lakewood Park at 4:00 pm on February 10.

ADMISSION

Documentary songwriting is a powerful vehicle for telling women's stories. It turns difficult experiences into beautiful music, and through collaboration it creates lasting bonds between participants. These real, truthful stories can help connect even more people.
