SUMMARY:Dinner Hosting: NGO Management
DESCRIPTION:CCWA is looking for internationally minded individuals and families to host international exchange participants for dinner on March 11. \nParticipants are in Cleveland on an exchange project called NGO Management. Participants are from ten different countries from around the world. This project is part of the U.S. Department of State’s Interantional Visitors Leadership Program. \nDinner Hosting FAQ \nNo need for an elaborate multi-course meal. Dinner does not need to be expensive and can be done as easily as you’d like. A potluck or a catered meal are also possibilities. Schedule pending\, a weekend brunch or lunch may also be arranged.\nThe more the merrier. You’re welcome to invite family members or friends to help welcome your international guests.\nWho’s coming to dinner? Groups range from 2 – 5 visitors—an interpreter may be included\, too. Background information will be provided typically one week in advance. This includes visitor name\, profession\, and dietary restrictions. \nSign me up!

SUMMARY:International Women of Courage: Honoring the 2023 Awardees
DESCRIPTION:The International Women of Courage Award given by the U.S. Secretary of State recognizes extraordinary women from around the world who have demonstrated exceptional courage\, strength\, and leadership in advocating for peace\, justice\, human rights\, gender equity\, and the empowerment of women and girls\, in all their diversity\, often at great personal risk and sacrifice. Since the inception of the International Women of Courage Award in March 2007\, the U.S. Department of State has recognized more than 170 women from over 80 countries. \nOn March 14\, 2023\, the Cleveland Council on World Affairs will welcome two of the 2023 honorees to share their stories and help us mark International Women’s Day by recognizing the incredible work that they are leading in their respective countries. \nProfessor Danièle Darlan\, the former President of the Central African Republic’s Constitutional Court\, has earned the title of an International Woman of Courage for her defense of her nation’s constitution\, her heroism in safeguarding judicial independence\, and her refusal to be influenced by threats or political pressure. \nSenator Datuk Ras Adiba Radzi has spent most of her professional life advancing and promoting human rights\, selflessly advocating for vulnerable populations and using her platforms to shed light on injustices in Malaysian society.  Ras Adiba also became a national Paralympic sharpshooter and earned a spot in the Malaysian Book of Records for ‘wheeling’ 420km in 13 days from Johor Bharu to Putrajaya in her wheelchair. \nPlease note that the event will be partially in French with English interpretation. \nThis event is sold out.

SUMMARY:Cleveland International Film Festival: Freedom on Fire
DESCRIPTION:The Cleveland Council on World Affairs is honored to partner with the Cleveland International Film Festival in the showing of Freedom on Fire: Ukraine’s Fight for Freedom. Join us in experiencing this groundbreaking documentary\, which can be screened at the Allen Theatre on Saturday\, March 25\, or streamed online from April 2 through April 9\, 2023. The film follows the war in Ukraine from a ground-level view\, focusing largely on the experiences of average citizens as they live through the 2022 invasion. It explores both the vast destruction and inspiring recovery\, while also portraying the Russian totalitarianism that led to the war. From Oscar and Emmy-nominated director Evgeny Afineevsky\, and narrated by Hellen Mirren\, Freedom on Fire delivers an intimate and stirring look at the Ukrainian people’s effort to defend their freedom. \nTo purchase tickets\, and to learn more about to the Cleveland International Film Festival\, click here.
