WHAT ARE THE OBJECTIVES OF THE ASSOCIATION?

 

It is clear that education is understood in the broadest sense and is not limited to the school world, but on the contrary extends to all cultural and artistic exchanges around Franco-Moroccan culture. Our aim is to make discover the culture of "the other in different forms of expression, in its artistic, intellectual and social dimension, in order to promote dialogue between peoples and to reduce the fear of the unknown, of the" stranger "that leads to withdrawal into oneself and any form of extremism.

In order for these cultural exchanges to be visible, audible and therefore effective, the association immediately places them in the local, national and international cultural and social fabric. Our action in favour of education and training is naturally directed towards the younger generations, because it is through youth that we prepare the future.
