MULTICULTURAL SHARING First and foremost a competition, the ISF & Youth Gymnasiade is a milestone in the life of athletes to create amazing sporting me- mories.

GYMNASIADE VILLAGE Throughout this main focus there remains a highly appreciated opportunity to share cultures and experiences beyond sport. Every day, students could go on cultural visits to discover the Moroccan culture, its SPORT VILLAGE FOR ALL history, art, architecture and gastronomy in Marrakesh and in Casablanca. One of the new additions of the Gymna- siade 2018 in Morocco was the opening of the sport village. From the 2nd to the 9th of May, the sport village welcomed athletes, coaches, heads of delegation, VIPs and visitors under an open sky and fun atmosphere.
