What Adric does

ADRIC (Agence de Développement des Relations Interculturelles pour la Citoyenneté) is a French non-profit association (loi 1901) founded in 2003 and headquartered at 7 rue du Jura, 75013 Paris. The organization develops and delivers professional training, awareness sessions, knowledge capitalization products, and research studies focused on citizenship, gender equality, secularism, anti-discrimination, and migrant integration in intercultural contexts. Its core offering comprises four service lines: Formation (customized group training for 15-20 professionals), Sensibilisation (awareness workshops for youth, schoolchildren, and migrants), Capitalisation des savoirs (methodological guides produced since 2007), and Études et diagnostics (collaborative research with universities).

The organization's methodological foundation rests on an intercultural approach that deconstructs essentialized cultural visions while affirming universal rights, combined with a multi-referential pedagogical framework integrating anthropology, sociology, economics, psychology, cultural studies, politics, and law. ADRIC operates through direct institutional sales across France — primarily on-site training at client premises with some distance learning — reaching 31 departments nationally, with concentrated activity in Île-de-France through the JCVE (Jeunes, Citoyenneté et Vivre Ensemble) program engaging 45+ lycées and 6,000+ beneficiaries.

Revenue derives almost entirely from French public institutional grants (Région Île-de-France, Ministry of Interior/DAAEN, DRJSCS, prefectures, CAF, departmental councils, municipalities) plus customized training fees billed via personalized quotes. Most training sessions are offered free to end participants due to institutional subsidies. The organization holds Qualiopi certification (mandatory for French public training funds) and has published six or more methodological guides, several formally labeled by the 2008 European Year of Intercultural Dialogue. Operations are staffed by only 4 permanent employees plus a network of 26 specialized trainers and contractors.
