They will teach one or two of the languages (English – French). All the volunteers will work for hours each day in the morning. Some extra activities will be organized by the association like animation with children. General Context of the Project The children that the volunteers will teach come from families with low economic resources so the volunteers will appreciate their everyday life habits and culture through practical and social involvement and feel like they are making a real change, since they will give them some skills that will help them at a personal and academic level. They will get in touch with national volunteers so that they can get involved in the community, not only inside the center but also outside, when they finish their work. 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. Volunteers skills, habilities, requirements... If the volunteer has some pedagogical skills, that will give some extra quality to the project, although they are not required to have any previous experience. We are looking for enthusiastic, positive and respectful people, who are willing to work close with people from other nationalities to learn new skills and develop new relationships in ways that they choose and at a pace they feel comfortable with. Patience and reliability are basic skills to work with children.

Volunteers will be accommodated in a shared appartment. We will cook 3 meals per day and we will make shifts to prepare them. Some days some volunteers will cook and others clean and the other way around. We will all help each other with the different tasks. We will set up the place with mats and blankets although 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. International volunteers can also ask the national ones to take them to hammam, the public baths. Its a nice experience that they will enjoy, while relaxing and enjoying the hot water and the steam, good for the skin. Chantiers Sociaux Marocains RP. : 456 Rabat RP.

General Context of the Casablanca, in Arabic Dar El Baida, is the biggest city in Morocco and project actually in Magheb region. Is the economic and business center in Morocco. Casablanca is one of the most important ones in Africa, demographically and economically, being one of the largest financial centers in the continent. Its port is one of the largest artificial ports in the world and the primary naval base of the Moroccan Navy. Completed in 1993 after many years in construction, the Hassan II Mosque is among Africa's largest, with one of the world's tallest minarets to boot. Thanks to its location on the waterfront, and the laser atop the minaret that beams toward Mecca, it’s one of Morocco's most striking buildings.

  • KIVUNIM Comes to Morocco 2018 Final
    KIVUNIM Comes to Morocco March 15-28, 2018 (arriving from Spain and Portugal) PT 1 Charles Landelle-“Juive de Tanger” Unlike our astronauts who travel to "outer space," going to Morocco is a journey into "inner space." For Morocco reveals under every tree and shrub a spiritual reality that is unlike anything we have experienced before, particularly as Jewish travelers. We enter an Islamic world that we have been conditioned to expect as hostile. Instead we find a warmth and welcome that both captivates and inspires. We immediately feel at home and respected as we enter a unique multi-cultural society whose own 2011 constitution states: "Its unity...is built on the convergence of its Arab-Islamic, Amazigh and Saharan-Hassani components, is nurtured and enriched by African, Andalusian, Hebraic and Mediterranean constituents." A journey with KIVUNIM through Morocco is to glimpse the possibilities of the future, of a different future. At our alumni conference in December, 2015, King Mohammed VI of Morocco honored us with the following historic and challenge-containing words: “…these (KIVUNIM) students, who are members of the American Jewish community, will be different people in their community tomorrow. Not just different, but also valuable, because they have made the effort to see the world in a different light, to better understand our intertwined and unified traditions, paving the way for a different future, for a new, shared destiny full of the promises of history, which, as they have realized in Morocco, is far from being relegated to the past.” The following words of Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel remind us of the purpose of our travels this year.

Little red taxis play dodgems at the feet of the white city’s ultra-modern buildings. There is no escaping the allure of its grandeur, its pure energy, and all of a sudden we ourselves are imbued with the same heady dynamism. Casablanca, economic heart of the Kingdom, lives at a frenetic pace. Business and art go side by side here, often intermingling. It is here, above all, that tones and trends are set. Why is it that so many artists have found their inspiration in Casablanca? Perhaps the contrasting curves of its Art Deco buildings are enough to cast a spell over them. The richness of the city’s architectural heritage is sufficient in itself to call forth the image of a city where time has no hold. Charged with In Casablanca, modern history yet resolutely turned towards the future, this most cosmopolitan of cities, buildings stand side where every nationality is represented, parades its modernity for all to see. by side with Arab-An- dalusian architecture and Art Deco creations Morocco’s economic nerve centre and keeper of a unique historical heritage, from the 1920s Casablanca reveals all of its many faces to us.

  • The Architectural Representation of Islam Tural This Book Is a Study of Dutch Mosque Designs, Objects of Heated Public Debate
    THE ARCHI THE R EPRESEN tat T EC THE ARCHITECTURAL REPRESentatION OF ISlam T ION OF OF ION This book is a study of Dutch mosque designs, objects of heated public UR debate. Until now, studies of diaspora mosque designs have largely A consisted of normative architectural critiques that reject the ubiquitous L ‘domes and minarets’ as hampering further Islamic-architectural evolution. I The Architectural Representation of Islam: Muslim-Commissioned Mosque SL Design in The Netherlands represents a clear break with the architectural A critical narrative, and meticulously analyzes twelve design processes M for Dutch mosques. It shows that patrons, by consciously selecting, steering and replacing their architects, have much more influence on their mosques than has been generally assumed. Through the careful transformation of specific building elements from Islamic architectural history to a new context, they literally aim to ‘construct’ the ultimate Islam. Their designs thus evolve not in opposition to Dutch society, but to those versions of Islam that they hold to be false.

This is why Groupe ISCAE, as a pioneer local well-established Business School in Morocco, at the door of Africa, is reinforcing continuously its international collaboration. Every year, our students spend a semester abroad or enroll for double degree programs with one of our 50 international academic partners. We also welcome more and more incoming students who are seeking a unique academic and cultural experience. Recently, Morocco has emerged as a hub for African investment because of its location and history. It has actually a strategic position between Europe, Middle East and Sub-Saharan Africa, which makes it an increasingly attractive destination for both visitors and investors looking for growth opportunities. More specifically, the vibrant city of Casablanca, where the main campus is located, is at the heart of the financial and commercial activity of the country, offering a modern environment with a Moroccan local touch.

  • The Grand Tour of Morocco
    THE GRAND TOUR OF MOROCCO Laurel Kuepker, Trinity High School, HEBISD [email protected] Objective: Students will be able to identify examples of cultural diffusion and syncretism in the country of Morocco. AP World History standard(s) covered: o Key Concept 3.1 3D Cross-cultural exchanges were fostered by the intensification of existing, or the creation of new, networks of trade and communication. D. Increased cross-cultural interactions resulted in the diffusion of literary, artistic, and cultural traditions. o Key Concept 3.2C Empires collapsed and were reconstituted; in some regions new state forms emerged . C. Some states synthesized local and borrowed traditions. Geography TEKS: (16) Culture. The student understands how the components of culture affect the way people live and shape the characteristics of regions. The student is expected to: (A) describe distinctive cultural patterns and landscapes associated with different places in Texas, the United States, and other regions of the world and how these patterns influenced the processes of innovation and diffusion; (B) describe elements of culture, including language, religion, beliefs and customs, institutions, and technologies; (C) explain ways various groups of people perceive the characteristics of their own and other cultures, places, and regions differently; and (D) compare life in a variety of urban and rural areas in the world to evaluate political, economic, social, and environmental changes. Rationale: Students often have a difficult time envisioning the places that we discuss in AP World History. A lot of my students also have a poor “mental map.” This project is designed to immerse students in Morocco through the aid of Google Maps and allow them to “fly in” to Morocco.
