The goal of Rapprochement Femmes (Women’s Connections) is to help newly arrived women navigate the services and resources available in the neighbourhood, while fostering connections among participants and combating isolation. Rapprochement Femmes is led by Afrique au Féminin and brings together member organizations of the Parc-Extension Women’s Roundtable. Participants visit each organization and benefit from their expertise while making friends and getting to know Parc-Extension.
There are also cultural workshops that develop connections among the women, such as dance, singing, and cooking.
