The first edition of the "Treasures of Traditional Moroccan Arts" training programme was launched on 16 November in Rabat by the Ministry of Tourism, Crafts and the Social Solidarity Economy and UNESCO.
The aim of this five-year programme is to guarantee the transmission of know-how related to craft trades. The plan includes a training cycle in no fewer than 32 trades with a strong cultural component. This first edition of the programme will focus on 6 crafts: zellige from Tétouan, embroidered saddles, Oujdiya blouza, tent weaving, the manufacture of inlaid fabrics, and the production of a wide range of handicrafts.
