As part of the Euromed Heritage Montada project, the Development Centre of the region of Tensift-Marrakech and the Sala Almoustaqbal Association of Salé recently organised a national meeting in Marrakech on the theme of ‘School and Heritage’. The event, which took place on 29-30 September, aimed to spread and share the experiences from project activities conducted in collaboration with teachers in schools in Marrakech and Salé.

This event brought together teaching professionals from local and national levels. Regional directors, primary school teachers, representatives of the ministry of education, inspectors and heads of cultural activities departments took part in the debate on the opportunities offered to education by architectural heritage, and exchanged the successful experiences with the aim of creating new synergies for the future.

It was also the occasion for the children of Marrakech and Salé to meet and to visit monuments in Marrakech with the participants of the national meeting. Then they worked in two simultaneous workshops.

Funded by the EU under the EuroMed Heritage IV programme with a budget of €1.5 million over a period of three years, Montada, which is implemented in Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia, aims to promote traditional built heritage by strengthening its identity through appropriation by the population. EuroMed Heritage IV is a €17 million EU-funded programme which contributes to the exchange of experiences on cultural heritage, creates networks and promotes cooperation with the Mediterranean Partner Countries.
