The Association of Friends of the Youth of the Moroccan Sahara for Development and Communication (AJSMDC) is organising, from 5 to 9 April in Tiznit, the 4th edition of the national meeting for children from rural areas. This event is held around the theme "Childhood: support, reinforcement and continuity". It aims to establish a communication link between children from all regions of the Kingdom. "Our ambition is to bring children's ideas closer together despite the difference in their traditions. This initiative also aims to improve the situation of the rural child on an intellectual and personal level thanks to listening, discussion and the creation of a spirit of cooperation," explain the organisers. On the programme for this 4th edition are workshops and meetings with child parliamentarians and officials from several regions.

The young participants will also have the choice of proposing subjects for discussion and debate. For their part, the supervisors have the mission of noting the children's ideas in order to analyse and develop them with them. The communication tools used in this event will allow, according to the organisers, to give children confidence and to initiate them into debate around current topics that interest them. The "National Meeting for the Child of the Rural World" ensures respect for the rights of the child to express their opinion, to education and teaching, as well as respect for the rights of children with specific needs.
