💼 What the programme involves

The aim of this cultural project is to offer the participants the opportunity to get to know the Moroccan culture, while doing a special activity, visiting Rabat and Marrakech not only as turist, but only to enjoy our culture from our hands an to get immersed into it, participating in the several activities proposed. The main aim of the project is to promote interculturality. This project will mixed discovering Marrakech, trekking in Marrakech mountains and doing some works as solidarity with the local population in mountains. Participants will stay the first week in Rabat, in a family an will volunteer teaching languages. After they will move to the mountains, where they will live in a private house, rented on purpose for this aim.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteers will be hosted in a host family in Rabat and in Marrakech they will live in an apartment rented by CSM for this purpose. They will be given 3 meals per day. It is highly recommended for the volunteers to bring their sleeping bags just in case. We need to highlight a couple of things that might be a bit difficult for the volunteers, given the past experiences with them. In Morocco, is rare to find the toilets that they are used to have in Europe. In this country, the toilet is normally a typical turkish bath.

📍 About the location

Rabat is the capital and fourth largest city of Morocco with an urban population of approximately 580,000. Rabat features a Mediterranean with Oceanic influence. Located along the Atlantic Ocean, Rabat has a mild, temperate climate, shifting from cool in winter to warm days in the summer months The biggest place for theatre is the Theatre Mohammed V in the centre of the town. The city has a few official galleries and an archeological museum. Many organizations are active in cultural and social issues. Marrakech is the capital city of the mid-southwestern region of Marrakesh Asfi. The red walls of the city, and various buildings constructed in red sandstone during this period, have given the city the nickname of the "Red City" or "Ochre City". A hot semi arid climate predominates at Marrakesh. Average temperatures range from 12°C in the winter to 3245°C in the summer. The Jemma el Fnaa is one of the best-known squares in Africa and is the centre of city activity and trade. Snake charmers, acrobats, magicians, mystics, musicians, monkey trainers, herb sellers, story-tellers, dentists, pickpockets, and entertainers in medieval garb still populate the square.
