Morocco's new constitution, approved by voters last week, recognises Amazigh as an official language of the country. It's fitting, therefore, that the 7th Festival of Amazigh Culture will be held from 15-17 July in Fez.
The Festival's theme this year is The Amazigh Language in Education and Media in the Maghreb and the Diaspora. It comprises a series of talks, concerts, a play, workshops, a film screening, poetry readings, exhibitions of Amazigh carpets, books, art and a caftan fashion show. It's organised by the Spirit of Fes Foundation in conjunction with the Fes Saiss Association, the BMCE Foundation, the South North Centre and the University of Sidi Mohamed ben Abdellalh in Fez. Attendance is free of charge. Here's the programme:
Talks and exhibitions: Palais de Congres
