Brazil Fest Needs Your Help!

What: Brazil Fest!
When: November 18th, 12:00 - 2:00 p.m.
Where: Dunwoody Campus, C-D Building Cafe
Why: To promote our Portuguese classes, to broaden students' awareness of the diverse cultures of the Americas, to celebrate the culture of our Brazilian students, and to increase student awareness of all our SILP / Critical Language offerings during registration period!

What we need: More student involvement!

We'll be decorating posters with information about Brazilian dance, music, politics, art, food, and culture on Tuesday at 1:00, Wednesday at 2:30, and Friday at noon in the Language Lab - any interested student or tutor may attend and help us plan and prepare for Brazil Fest (I'll provide snacks). If you have Brazilian students in your classes, please encourage them to participate! If you lead a class on Dunwoody Campus on the 18th between 12 and 2 p.m., bring your students to the festival for some food, music, and dance. If you would like to participate, or if you would like to make fliers about your own language to distribute during the festival, please let me know.

More about Brazil Fest:
1. We'll have Brazilian food, sweets, and soft drinks for the students to sample
2. We hope to have Capoeira (dance influenced by martial arts) demonstrations and a Brazilian folk musician
3. Students will be able to hear samples of Samba, Bossa Nova, and contemporary Brazilian popular music
4. Free food!

Please attend and encourage your students to do so as well!
