This event, which took place under the slogan: “January 2975: Consolidate Amazigh identity and revive local memory”, has today become one of the important cultural events which contribute to the strengthening of Amazigh identity and to the rebirth of heritage.
The activities of this session, which took place from January 9 to 13, extend through a variety of cultural, intellectual and artistic activities.
The program included an intellectual symposium titled “Memory, Identity and the City,” as well as drawing and mural workshops that added a special artistic character to the celebrations.
The session was also marked by the “Olympiad Tifinagh” competition, targeting educational establishments with the aim of consolidating the Amazigh language and strengthening the cultural belonging of young people.
Various activities have also been planned for children, aimed at instilling the values of pride in Amazigh heritage in the hearts of the new generation.
The activities of the session concluded with a solemn ceremony held at the Riad Al-Nakhil Hall, in the presence of a large number of civil society activists and members of the Collective Council.
The ceremony was an opportunity to pay tribute to the poets Jamal Akumad and Hanan Kahmou, in recognition of their exceptional contributions to the service of Amazigh culture.
The ceremony also included traditional artistic performances, in addition to a “symbolic Berber wedding” and a display of traditional Berber costumes, which created an authentic festive atmosphere.

We are proud of the positive response and interaction with all sections of the program, which encourages us to be more creative in future courses.
