Mimouna Club is a Moroccan non-profit, originally founded as a student organization at AlAkhawayn University in Ifranein 2007. The club aims to educate the Moroccan public, and especially the youth, on the diversity of Moroccan culture, with focus on Moroccan Jewry as a model of coexistence between Jews and Muslims in the Arab World. Its founding director, Mr. Elmehdi Boudra, has an MA in Conflict Management from Brandeis University. Mimouna Club is instrumental in meeting with our group and setting up additional meetings with various NGOs.
In addition to these partners, the program will be visiting many organizations (ILCS, The High Atlas Foundation, and others) and meeting with leaders, students, and speakers throughout Morocco.
