The National School Theater Festival, organized by the Living Arts Foundation in partnership with the Ministry of National Education, Preschool and Sports, the Regional Academy of Education and Training of Casablanca-Settat, the Casablanca-Settat Region, and the Zakoura Foundation, has expanded to nine regions of Morocco in 2026. This marks a significant milestone for the festival, which aims to promote theatrical arts among students.
The festival, which began in previous years with a smaller scope, now includes regions such as Casablanca-Settat, Rabat-Salé-Kénitra, and others, according to the organizers. The initiative seeks to encourage creativity, self-expression, and cultural awareness among young Moroccans through school theater.
Details on the exact dates and participating schools were not fully available at the time of this report, but the expansion reflects a growing commitment to arts education in the country. The Living Arts Foundation has emphasized the importance of partnerships with educational institutions to ensure the festival's success.
