The Alliance Fran\u00e7aise Ottawa has always had as its main objective to increase access to Francophone culture and to create a welcoming, inclusive and diverse community. It is with that in mind that in September 2023, thanks to a grant from Ottawa Bilingual, we are launching the Forging Links project. The goal of this project is to introduce and promote Indigenous arts to our public, by enriching our cultural programming through activities organized in partnership with local Indigenous artists and organizations. On the menu: Dance shows, art exhibitions, tales reading, conferences, guided tours, etc.
\nThrough these activities, we hope to encourage a better knowledge of Indigenous issues to a varied public while helping to open a dialogue in order to build a more present bilingualism throughout the territory of Ottawa and better cohesion between the Francophone communities, First Nations , M\u00e9tis and Inuit and Anglophones.<\/p>\n
