AAWE has a wide variety of ongoing American holiday celebrations, events, social, professional and support groups, both in person and virtual. Meeting times are usually during the day, on a weekly or monthly basis. As well there are evening and weekend groups.
Our in-person activities are held at the AAWE headquarters in Paris, member homes and various locations in and around Paris.
Our virtual meetings are usually held via Zoom.
The range of activities grows and develops over time, depending on the interests of our members.
