On this occasion, the 8th intangible cultural heritage caravan was launched under the theme “The preservation and enhancement of heritage as a national constant” with the aim of preserving and promoting the cultural heritage and traditions of the Middle Atlas.
Speaking on this occasion, the president of the International Academy “Morocco Storytelling for Intangible Cultural Heritage”, Najima Thay Thay said that the organization of this 8th caravan in commemoration of Eid Al-Mawlid Al-Nabawi Acharif is intended to be an opportunity to promote national values among the younger generations, noting that it is an opportunity to instill in these young people the imperative of preserving cultural heritage and national traditions.
This event aims to contribute to spreading the culture of tolerance and middle ground among the young as national constants, she said, noting that such events cut short rigorous religious ideas.
