About the project
A unique opportunity to welcome a student from Brazil
This autumn, 75 students from Pernambuco, Brazil, will travel to Scotland for a 16-week international education programme, from 19 October 2026 to 6 February 2027.
40 students will study at Forth Valley College across its Falkirk and Stirling campuses. We’re looking for welcoming host families to give students a comfortable home and the chance to experience everyday life in Scotland.
By opening your home, you’ll help make their experience unforgettable while discovering a new culture and creating an international connection of your own.
