The documentary recounts the origins and implementation of the project “SpeakArt – Promoting freedom of expression and culture of accountability“.

The event was held in 2 phases:

Initiated by Racines, with the support of the British Embassy in Rabat, the SpeakArt project aims at raising citizens’ awareness on their rights and on political accountability through the production of a forum theater play about education and training workshops on citizenship and forum theater technics. The SpeakArt caravan stopped in 12 cities to give a performance of the theater play “My Sweet School” and to train and inform the local youth on citizenship topics.
