MACECE's Deputy Director Imane Hannouche and Program Officer Ayoub Benfdila recently attended an international conference at the Faculty of Education (Mohammed V University), organized in partnership with the ROUA center, on “International academic mobility: challenges, opportunities, and perspectives of academic cooperation.” The event brought together national and international experts to discuss different opportunities available to Moroccan students, and key issues related to student mobility and academic collaboration.

Here's a look at the networking lunch at MACECE where the TGC group had the opportunity to meet with our Moroccan Fulbright alumni and to reflect on their respective exchange experiences.
