The association for the Development of Overseas Culture and its Artistic Expression in Metropolitan France celebrated its 34th anniversary in December 2024. Several highlights were on the program: a visit to the premises (located at Merlan in the 14th arrondissement of Marseille), workshops, meetings and a visit to United Associative Radio.
