Pr.

These two Riads now aim to be a platform for training, exchange, experimentation and emulation for EMADU students as well as craftsmen and apprentice craftsmen; and this, through seminars, workshops, workshops, etc. The objective is to allow students and apprentices as well as artisans and academics to combine knowledge and know-how.
In addition to the above activities, these residences will also be spaces for the popularization of knowledge through the organization of conferences, exhibitions, screenings, etc., thus materializing one of the reasons for being of the UEMF and which is that of being a platform for exchange, dialogue and openness.
