The Mercredis de Racines caravane passed by Beni Mellal, Rabat, Tangier, Azrou, Laayoune, Tiznit, Tinghir and Oujda. In June, the Mercredis de Racines will be organized in Guelmim (June 2nd), Safi (June 23rd) and Casablanca (June 30th).

The “Etats Régionaux de la Culture” are part of the regionalization process, and aim to diagnose the cultural sector, do the inventory of artistic structures and cultural policy in the regions, in order to suggest efficient recommendations for the implementation of a cultural policy that is adapted to each region and one that goes along with the objectives of advanced regionalization and the prerogatives of regional councils.

The sixth edition of “Mercredis de Racines” is co-organized with our partner associations in the regions: Orchid (Beni Mellal), Centre Culturel Africain (Rabat), Atelier Kissaria (Tangier), Tazghart (Azrou), WenniBik (Laayoune / Dakhla), Tamaynut (Tinghir / Guelmim), Association Tiznit des Cultures Urbaines (Tiznit), Achbal Maroc Culturelles et artistiques (Oujda) et One Dream (Safi).
