Women's Cafés are the place to meet up, exchange ideas and, above all, express yourself! A helping hand for mothers from other countries, as part of our Chemins d'Enfances program in France .
We organized a Café des Femmes a month ago in Paris, with 5 mothers whose children we welcome during the day in our Baby Creatif workshop, while they learn French and digital skills with Emmaüs Connect.
For two hours, the five participants let themselves be guided by playful and creative activities. To facilitate expression and overcome the language barrier, we used photolanguage. They chose an image that reminded them of a memory and shared their stories.
We then invited them to express themselves through painting.
These women, who are committed to their social and professional integration, have experienced difficult and often traumatic migratory journeys, and now find themselves very isolated.
This moment is :
- A break to express yourself with confidence
- An opportunity to improve your French without pressure
- A way of forging links and breaking down isolation
You'll leave with more words, a head full of color and, above all, a smile on your face!
