Morocco Unveils Plan to Boost Cultural Outreach for Diaspora Communities

The roadmap must take into account these changes while making appropriate recommendations and solutions to overcome the consequences generated by the health crisis, said Ms. El Ouafi, during this virtual meeting devoted to the continuation of discussions between the ministerial sectors and the national institutions concerned to find a governance mechanism for the Moroccan cultural offer abroad. In this sense, the delegate minister estimated that "the desired cultural offer must reflect the moderate, open Moroccan model and rich in its diversified culture".

Stressing that the cultural offer must also be based on the different specialties and aspirations of Moroccans around the world, the minister stressed that her department is working on a new cultural policy for Moroccans living abroad, focused on four key points, namely: the implementation of a strategy to prepare a cultural offer expected by the Moroccan community; the adoption of an institutional governance mechanism; the encouragement of the professionalization of supervision, production, and realization of the cultural offer; and finally, effective investment to support the creation of Moroccan cultural centers abroad, under the name "Dar Al Maghrib" (House of Morocco).

To recall, this meeting is part of the implementation of the recommendations of the Monitoring and Follow-up Committee of Moroccan cultural centers abroad, of October 20, 2020, calling for the establishment of a governance framework that promotes harmony and coordination and facilitates the formulation and implementation of an integrated national strategy for the dissemination of Moroccan culture abroad. A study had been carried out in this direction by the ministry in charge of Moroccans living abroad in 2015.
