The organization and the team behind Marseille Pride
Around the Inter-Association and Business Steering Committee, the Fierté Marseille Organisation association gathers the Pride Marseille Volunteers. This page is intended to introduce you to the organization and the volunteers who coordinate the projects, actions and events that we offer.
HOW IS THE PRIDE ORGANIZED?
Since 2014, Pride Marseille has been organized around an Inter-Associative and Business Steering Committee that brings together around forty structures. The Committee is organized informally and defines the militant choices and the major orientations of the LGBTQI Pride events. Each year, it appoints an association whose mission is to carry out the legal and technical organization of Pride Marseille.
The associations and businesses of our territory have successively appointed the Collectif IDEM (2014-2016) and the association AGIS-IBIZA (2017-2019) which have fulfilled this function of carrier association. In 2019, the Steering Committee wished to create an association dedicated to the organization of Pride Marseille (Marche des Fiertés, Festival des Fiertés, PrideWeek...). Depending on its moral and financial results, it will be renewed each year.

The association Fierté Marseille Organisation gathers the Volunteers (volunteer members) who want to get involved and who constitute the team in charge of the administration and the General Coordination of the projects, the actions and of the events that we offer.

This year, I am volunteering in the Communications Department, but also in the Programming Department. Having been involved in the community for as long as I can remember, for me, "Right in the eyes" is the hope of never having to look down again and of being proud of our identities, however plural they may be."

SANDRINE - ADMINISTRATOR/ VOLUNTEER CENTER
Having been a volunteer since 2018 for Pride Marseille, this year, Sandrine wanted to invest even more in the association Fierté Marseille Organisation by joining the Board of Directors and becoming the Volunteer Coordinator.
STÉPHANE S. - DIRECTOR / international relations
Originally from Marseille, Stéphane is a sales assistant and is also finishing his studies in order to teach French as a foreign language. At 24 years old, eager to get involved in concrete terms in the queer community of Marseille, he has been a member of the Coordination since 2021 and is part of the International Department. For him, "Right in the eyes" is an opportunity to remind that the queer community can and must be seen and visible – even if this "in-your-face" side may not be everyone's cup of tea – so that everyone can look at themselves in the eyes with dignity.
