Associations & Collectives

Associations have always been part of the supports necessary for carrying out the UEEH over time.

On one hand, they support our projects each year through graciously providing their premises for the holding of meetings of the board of administration. Thus Aides Marseille, Aides Lille, Aides Toulouse, Act-Up Paris, the Paris LGBT Center, the center LGBTQIF J’en suis J’y reste of Lille and Paris CIP have hosted board meetings and ensure that their premises are accessible to disabled people.

On the other hand, they are involved into the event, by providing prevention materials, organizing workshops on their specialized topics and taking an active part into the smooth running of the event by taking part as participants in the community life and participatory management of theevent. Aides, Keep Smiling and Act-Up participate each year in developing the health project before and during the UEEH. Les Flamands Roses animate regular workshops on the memory of the deportation of homosexuals, in conjunction with the Memorial of the Homosexual Deportation and participate to the self-financing of the association in organizing parties to support the UEEH.

Institutional partners

The UEEH could not exist nor survive without the support of local communities. The graceful provision by the city of Marseille of the École Superieure des Beaux-Arts (ESBAM), and the loan of equipment essential to the logistics of such an event inscribe the city in the collective work and policy against discrimination implemented in the UEEH.

The financial support of the General Council of the Bouches-du-Rhone, especially to enable the association to have an operating budget in line with their needs and a necessary investment budget, places it among the political actors engaged in supporting an audience largely discriminated against.

Contacts have been regularly made with the Regional Council of Provence-Alpes-Cote d’Azur, which supported the action of the the UEEH repeatedly to obtain financing and thus include it with us into what is a perennial event, an element of European history of LGBTQI people.
