SUMMARY:Café Conversation - 10h30
DESCRIPTION:Café Conversation is a great way to practice\, improve and/or help you feel more comfortable speaking French with friendly francophones and francophiles who enjoy speaking French in an informal setting.  The group meets two Saturdays a month from 10:30 to 12:30 (be sure to check this calendar often). Have a cup of coffee and meet/greet fellow members for the first half hour or so with some small talk – en français (It’s all about practicing!) and then prepare to tackle the subject of the day. \nAn article in French (often with a side-by-side English translation) is read out loud en français by the participants to practice proper pronounciation and to check understanding of the French vocabulary and grammar. The article will then be used to spark the conversation. \nAll levels of French are welcome. AFNWCT members attend free and a $5 suggested donation is kindly requested from all others. \nThose with a question\, or if you wish to propose a certain topic or lead one of the discussions should contact Brigitte: cafe@afnwct.org \nThis group meets at the AF Center located at 1 Pomperaug Office Park\, Suite 301 in Southbury. See map below.

SUMMARY:Eurochannel's 8th Short Films Program 1 - 7pm
DESCRIPTION:The Alliance Francaise of NW CT is once again co-sponsoring with the Southbury Film Commission Eurochannel’s eighth edition Short Films Tour called “Happiness for the World to See” featuring this year’s theme: Happiness. \nViewers will be introduced to cinematic adventures from the most charming countries such as France\, the United Kingdom and Italy. Plenty of places to go\, plenty of stories to enjoy… We propose only one question: how happy are you? \nHappiness for the world to see \n“Happiness depends upon ourselves\,” said Aristotle. But while philosophers and religious thinkers often define happiness in terms of living a good life\, or flourishing\, rather than simply as an emotion\, scientists have a more pragmatic approach with measurable indicators.\nScientists argue that experiencing positive events\, feeling loved and loving\, accepting others and being accepted\, and keeping good habits lead to finding happiness. Although it is true that an exact and complete definition of “happiness” is impossible\, we can agree that it resides in a sense of well-being rather than wealth or power. But what makes some people happy might not make. \nThe Eurochannel Short Films Tour has been a successful Eurochannel trademark for the last seven years.
