About the Foundation

We are happy to announce that the International Cultural Gardens Federation assigned a place for the creation of a French Garden in Cleveland, that will be made in collaboration with the City of Rouen (Normandy) and the City of Cleveland Mayor's Office. The Launching is scheduled in 2022 (delay due to covid-19)

Because cultural gardens represent a place of memorial for the French community to get together, we need your support to make our project comes through. 

• we need funds for the design phase and the launching in 2022 - see https://gofund.me/0a46642e 
• we need volunteers to maintain the garden 2 times a year. 

The funds will go to the design phase  and the launching in 2022 of our Cleveland French Cultural Garden which will be placed in a unique environment inside the International Cultural Gardens area in Cleveland.

The primary mission of the Cultural & Education Committee is to encourage, promote, and otherwise support the growth and development of educational initiatives focused on French-language-based and internationally oriented education. 

The Education Committee membership will be selected from individuals who have significant French-American cultural experiences and have a strong interest in education, including French teachers, French expatriates, and representatives of companies that are French or have significant interests and operations in France.

The Education Committee has active and prospective projects, including:

• Promoting schools that include French education
• Promoting French classes
• French Education Guide

Since 2008, Cleveland has had a sister city relationship with Rouen. Since then, the FACC Ohio and City of Rouen have initiated multiple cultural exchanges, delegations, and economic development visits.

For the 10th anniversary in 2018, we planned two key events:

• In Cleveland, a Bastille Day celebration on July 14, 2018
• In Rouen, the 100th anniversary of the armistice of November 11, 1918. It was a ceasefire agreed upon during World War I between the Allies and Germany

We are thankful for your participation (volunteers and donations) that made these projects possible.
