The Alliance pour l'culture française et l'entente nationale (French reformed for "Alliance for French culture and national understanding"), abbreviated ACFEN, is a Gylian organisation that promotes French culture and cultural exchanges Gylias.
Together with the OMFLG, it is one of the main organisations of the francité movement, and a powerful organisation in the French Gylian community.
History
The ACFEN was founded in 1959 by Renée Gaulloise and Éliane La Gylienne. They were community organisers and public activists who had participated in the Gylian languages reform of 1958–1959 and the popular drafting of the Constitution of Gylias, through which they came into contact with fellow-minded OMFLG founder Françoise Chatelain.
They established the organisation to preserve and promote French culture in Gylias. The ACFEN forged a link with the OMFLG, and the two sister organisations spearheaded the francité movement.
The ACFEN became popular during the Golden Revolution, the result of its appealing conception of French identity and its light-hearted activism methods. Together with the OMFLG, it succeeded in convincing the Gylian public that the preservation of French influence was important for the health of Gylian culture, a view that remains prevalent to this day.
Mission
The ACFEN's official mission is to promote French culture and French identity in Gylias, as conceptualised by francité, to serve as an umbrella organisation for French Gylians, and to promote cultural diversity and dialogue by encouraging close ties between French and other Gylians.
Structure
It is a voluntary association and a nonprofit. It follows an autonomist model of organisation, with members electing a 9-member Conseil administratif (Administrative Board) and 15-member Conseil d'surveillance (Supervisory Board) annually.
It is a sister organisation to the OMFLG — both organisations' charters state that they will "unite and coordinate their activities toward the same goal".
It serves as an umbrella for various French civic organisations, associations, and institutions, and it has a political arm in the Rassemblement Française ("French Rally"), which is part of IRAM.
Activities
Events
The ACFEN organises regular events to promote French culture and highlight French contributions to Gylias, including festivals, open-air cinemas, concerts, and artistic and sporting events known as the Jeux Françaises.
It organises various communal meetings, meals, and parties to encourage interaction between communities, and runs various outreach programs that encourage close ties between French and other Gylian communities, particularly Miranians, Italians, and Hellenes.
It maintains links with other Francophone and Francophile organisations in Tyran, as well as Gylian embassies and the Gylias Foundation.
Community organisation
It is the primary coordination and organisation institution for French art colonies, communes, and social centres in Gylias.
Symbolism
It serves as a forum to debate and agree upon common symbols of French identity, having been influential in the adoption of Montjoie as such in Gylias.
Publishing
It publishes the monthly journal Ensemble and co-manages the À la française publishing house with OMFLG.
Media
It either directly runs or collaborates with various French-language media outlets — newspapers, magazines, radio stations, TV channels, and websites.

Advocacy
It represents and advocates the interests of the French community in the public sphere and within political groups, particularly IRAM.
