Our partners
PUBLIC POWERS
The public authorities are partners of the associations.
Through financial contracting, they enable our organization and many others to create jobs and ensure the other costs of registering our projects over time.
Representation in France of the European Commission
Located in Paris and Marseilles, the European Commission's Representation in France is responsible for providing the President and the European Commission with information, analysis and advice on the country's political, economic and social developments with a view to informing the actors responsible for EU policy-making.
The Representation also communicates EU priorities and policies to citizens, universities, civil society, social partners and other stakeholders. As a voice of the European Commission in France, she collaborates with the press and publishes a great deal of information on social networks.
Representation is the association's main contact for our label « Europe Direct ». Through regular dialogue and national and international meetings, the Representation informs us about European news, answers our questions and ensures the administrative and financial follow-up of our label.
The Hauts-de-France region
As the managing authority of many European programmes, the region supports information and awareness-raising activities on Europe. It acts to help inform citizens and the general public about EU policies and fundamentals and works to increase the visibility of European achievements and contributions in the territory.
In this context, Interphaz collaborates with the Interface Europe sector integrated into the animation and assembly service of European projects through a regular dialogue. Other specific links are being established, notably with the Development and support sector for the setting up of sectoral projects. Our association is committed to relaying the various webinars proposed by the community around the programs it manages.
The Cap sur le Monde forum, led by the Hauts-de-France Region, is a project for which Interphaz participates. In close collaboration with other Northern Europe Direct Centres, complete information is offered to young people wishing to experience abroad.
The city of Lille
Lille enjoys international visibility thanks to strong links with different European cities. After the Second World War, « Twinning oaths » High symbolic scope has opened the way for dialogue and intercultural meetings. These steps have contributed to the development of a European fraternity. In 1958 Cologne (Germany), Esch-sur-Alzette (Luxembourg), Liège (Belgium), Rotterdam (Netherlands), Turin (Italy) and Lille decided to combine in the spirit of the European integration process.
The network has since been enriched, for Lille, by partnership relations with Leeds (United Kingdom), Erfurt (Germany), Wroclaw (Poland), Valladolid (Spain) and Kharkiv (Ukraine) and has been fully integrated into the Eurométropole territory: Lille-Kortrijk-Tournai.
The municipal elected representatives and the Lille city's international relations department promote active European citizenship, open to the world while at the same time striving to strengthen through exchanges, creativity and innovation. Promoting mobility and plurilingualism, they work to develop employment and economic exchanges.
Supported by the city of Lille, our association coordinates Europe each year in May. This project of valorisation among many partners, European actions, represents a valuable opportunity to communicate positively about Europe in a labelised city « European city ». The Festival des Solidarités Internationales in November complements the local event offering by offering a wealth of educational activities for Citizenship and International Solidarity (ECSI). Since 2005, the Lille Foundation has provided financial support to some of the Festival's project promoters.

The European Metropolis of Lille
Located in the heart of Europe, the European Metropole of Lille (MEL) takes advantage of its geographical position to exchange and build with its neighbours and with all of Europe. The European Union is a true partner for MEL since it finances many projects that improve the daily lives of metropolitans. The Accompaniment & Partnerships & Europe Directorate ensures that these projects reach the public and the European Commission.
