Organised at the initiative of the Atlas Association of Caricature (AAC) and the weekly newspaper "Le Canard Libéré", on the theme "Food security: the world is hungry for great resolutions", this event will see the participation of more than 411 cartoonists from all over the world, including 30 from Morocco, with more than 1,200 works dedicated to the theme of food security, a statement from the organisers indicates.

In addition to the permanent exhibition of caricatures, the Festival will this year pay a vibrant tribute to the Moroccan cartoonist Nourdine Bennani, in recognition of his contribution to the enrichment of press cartoons and, more broadly, the national cultural and media field.

On the agenda for this event, initiated with the support of the Ministry of Youth, Culture and Communication, are also two workshops which will be led by the cartoonists in the presence of a group of children from the Souss-Massa region, as well as a conference-debate on the theme of caricature and food security.

On the sidelines of this edition, the FICA, in collaboration with the Higher School of Education and Training of the Ibnou Zohr University of Agadir, will organise a new edition of the University Festival of Culture and Pedagogical Arts (FUCAP), on the theme "Visual Arts and education: experiences and horizons".
