Projet Banlieues in brief
The role played by local associations is more necessary than ever in the fight against inequality and for a better way of “living together”.
These associations relentlessly work in the cities’ priority neighbourhoods to ensure equal opportunities and fight against every form of social exclusion. By their steady determination and continuous commitment, these associations make a difference.
