PROGRAMME SUMMARY:
Sitting at the northwest corner of Africa along the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, the Kingdom of Morocco inspires travelers with its diverse landscapes. From the snow-capped peaks of the Atlas Mountains to the towering sand dunes of the Sahara, Morocco is influenced by its geography and positioning as a trading nation. Morocco’s cultural tapestry has evolved from Berber, Arab, and European roots. Explore iconic landmarks such as the Koutoubia Mosque, Bahia Palace, and vibrant souls. Delve into cultural, and artistic experiences. Discuss the impact of French influence and women's rights in Morocco. Travel through the picturesque Dades Valley, hike the breathtaking Todra Gorges, and visit local cooperatives and markets, gaining deep insights into Moroccan culture and community life.
GEx learning will revolve around intersectional themes of culture and identity, gender equality and sustainability. GEx connections will be made as always to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. GEx travel programmes are led by Mulgrave and our educational partners at Insight Global Education. An overview and sample GEx itinerary can be found below.
