Open-air Cinema @ Parc de la Villete

Hello everyone!

By now, you've hopefully received the AU email or FB invite to our next event at Parc de la Villette. This month Accents United is heading out to the Open-Air Cinema at said Parc to watch "In This World" by Michael Winterbottom.

Here are a few details on the film:
Enayat and Jamal are Afghan refugees who live in a camp in Peshawar and try to escape to Great Britain by the help of people smugglers. The journey to freedom has no borders. Their dangerous journey leads them along the "silk road" through Pakistan, Iran and Turkey towards London.

And now for the important info:
Date: Thursday 13 August
Time: From 20.00 (The films generally start around 22h but we will meet up earlier for a picnic)
Place: at entrance to La Villette, Prairie du Triangle,
Metro: Porte de Pantin (ligne 5)

This year the cinema is free of charge ;-))

I wish I could join you all but I will be on vacation! Have a wonderful August and I will see you at our next event in September!!

Accents United Summer Picnic - New Date

Hello again,

We're going to try this again and this time I'm doing a couple of sun dances on my end to make sure we have the same beautiful weather we've had these last few days!

We have set a new date for this picnic and we hope that more of you can join us this time around (unless of course you are jet setting around the world...). So the here is the new date: July 16. The rest of the event remains the same - time, location, and charming company. If you're a bit hazy on the logistics, just check out the AU Events section on the right-hand menu.

Let us know if you plan on joining us. Feel free to invite friends, family, colleagues etc, the more the merrier!

Hope to see you then!

PS: I (Melanie) will be at the Why Bar tomorrow (info to your right). Drink specials, cool cocktails, and great ambiance...Here's looking at you, kid (j'espère...)
