Institutes - Cultural centers Provence-Alpes-Côte D'Azur

The Mediterranean University Centre is so beautiful that it hardly dares to enter, yet it is open to all the public. This centre offers all kinds of seminars and conferences on the theme of the Mediterranean, to say all the diversity of conferences, debates and symposiums that are organized in this magical place.

It is probably thanks to the Acropolis that Nice is the second largest congress town in France. 5 auditoriums of 250 to 2 500 places and 30 000 m ² of modular space, this centre also offers a sum of services to organise conventions, fairs, exhibitions and conferences.

A destination for Muslim families, their relatives or anyone interested in the living heritage of the Maghreb countries, this cultural centre was established in 1996. The only one in France to benefit from the approval of the association of family associations, which informs on its secular and apolitical side. The UNION is carried by active members, all sharing the same intent: show a festive, tolerant face, curious of the arts in all its forms until the culinary art. Knowledge, learning of Arabic languages, discoveries of handwritten writings (courses in calligraphy, graphic art), music, dances, sport… In short, everything that makes the Arab world greatness today. A beautiful annual showcase, the Eid Festival in October brings together all its positive impulses in many events, often the fruit of the workshops. Cultural and social, the UNION also plays an important role in the representation of families in the public authorities (administrative accompaniment, defence of children's interests, consumer rights…)

Courses of capoeira also, book workshops, workshops for children, cooking courses… In short, something happens at the Fleg!
