The theme of this 1st edition of the Oujda Book Fair was “Say Youth, Write Hope”.
The CCME participated to the Maghreb book fair through a stand with the Council’s publications. The intent was to inform about the missions and publications of the Council. But also to interact with the public, the researchers and institutions on the issue of Moroccan and Maghreb migration.
The Maghreb Book Fair is organized by the « Oriental Agency », the « Oriental Wilaya » and the Council of the « Oriental Region » with the support of several partners. More than 200 intellectuals from the Maghreb, Europe and Africa, and in particular Senegal, the guest country, took part at the book fair.
