Visit of two Riads made available to UEMF by a delegation accompanied by Pr. Iman Benkirane

A delegation composed of Mrs. Nadia Fettah Alaoui, Minister of Tourism, Handicrafts, Air Transport and Social Economy, Mr. Said Zniber, Wali of the Fès-Meknès Region, as well as Mr. Mohand Laenser, President of the Fès-Meknès Region, visited the two Riads made available to the Euromed University of Fes, located in Lalla Yeddouna.

Pr. Iman Benkirane, Director of the Euromed School of Architecture, Design and Urbanism (EMADU), presented to the delegation the program that these buildings will host according to the "Open-Air School" approach; a program that will start in January 2020, thereby bringing ancestral know-how closer to the academic and research world.

These two Riads are now intended to be a platform for training, exchange, experimentation and stimulation for EMADU students as well as artisans and apprentice artisans; through seminars, workshops, studios, etc. The objective is to enable students and apprentices as well as artisans and academics to combine knowledge and know-how.

In addition to the activities mentioned above, these houses will also be spaces for the dissemination of knowledge through the organization of conferences, exhibitions, screenings, etc., thus embodying one of the University’s raisons d’être, which is to be a platform for exchange, dialogue and openness.
