2nd edition of African Week: UEMF celebrates Africa differently!

After a successful first edition in 2021, the Euromed University of Fes is organizing African Week on May 24 and 25, 2023.   

This highly anticipated event coincides with World Africa Day and celebrates the dialogue, richness and diversity of our continent with a program of many cultural, scientific, artistic and recreational activities. 

Through these events, the Euromed University of Fes continues to play its role as a meeting and intercultural exchange place between the two shores of the Mediterranean with a natural extension to Sub‑Saharan Africa, in perfect harmony with His Majesty King Mohammed VI’s clear‑sighted vision. 

“I would not like us to celebrate Africa only during one week, but for our continent to be anchored in our minds and thoughts. Moreover, our Africa has an extraordinary cultural and economic diversity and immense natural resources that require the involvement of all stakeholders to showcase its riches and valorize its heritage,” said Prof. Mostapha Bousmina, President of the Euromed University of Fes, during the opening remarks of the conferences. 

This event, which is part of the University’s strategic vision to promote exchange and values of sharing and coexistence, is an opportunity to communicate and reflect together on the challenges and opportunities related to Africa. 

This edition adopted a varied program including a day dedicated to artistic performances by dance groups from different countries and a screening of the film “The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind”, followed by a second day animated by musical performances, artistic parades, conferences, round tables, exhibitions and, to finish in style, an “African night” performed by UEMF students. 

African Week at the Euromed University of Fes also remains an opportunity for exchanges and reflection on the issues and opportunities related to the continent.
