Mohamed El-Talhawy, president of the Hewar Foundation in the Netherlands, received a special honor last weekend at the ninth edition of the Inter-African Cultural Exhibition 2024, organized by the Thesgnas Association for Culture and Development in the town of Nador.
This honor came in recognition of his exceptional contributions to promoting intercultural understanding and the connection between Moroccan diaspora communities and their home countries.
The 2024 African Intercultural Expo is an exceptional platform that combines cultural creativity and social innovation under the slogan “A more integrated socio-economic model”.
It seeks to highlight the importance of the solidarity economy and culture as two pillars of sustainable development, with an emphasis on building communication bridges between Africa and Europe.
The exhibition brings together an elite of cultural and social actors, making it an opportunity to celebrate inspiring models such as Mohamed El Talhawy.

Through its activities, it contributes to consolidating common human values and encouraging constructive exchanges, whether in the Netherlands or in Morocco.
In addition, Al-Talhawi led pioneering social initiatives during the Corona crisis, through the Mounir Foundation for Social Works, where he supported needy families in Moroccan neighborhoods such as Al-Kindi and Laari Al-Sheikh .
He also helped found the Beni Hassan Association for Development and Cooperation in the Netherlands, which aims to improve living conditions in his hometown of the Beni Tuzin tribe through projects such as the restoration of the historic mosque, the paving of roads, the digging of wells and the encouragement of economic cooperatives.

Today, its distinction at the 2024 African Intercultural Exhibition confirms its pioneering role in the combination of cultural and social work, and highlights its position as a model of intercultural cooperation and promotion of Moroccan identity abroad. .
Muhammad Al-Talhawi’s career, which began with great responsibilities after the early death of his father in 1991, is the embodiment of the insistence on serving society.
Thanks to his vast network and organizational skills, he has created a lasting positive impact, whether by promoting cultural openness or through projects with a strong social impact.
Through his continued donations, Al-Talhawi remains a model for future generations, proving that dialogue and cooperation are the key to building more supportive and understanding societies.
