In the Casablanca-Settat region of Morocco, summer camps (colonies de vacances) have been organized in 2026 to promote civic education and youth development. According to reports from Moroccan news outlets such as Le Matin and Hespress, these camps are part of a broader initiative by local authorities and the Ministry of Youth to engage young people in activities that foster citizenship, teamwork, and personal growth.
The camps, held in various locations across the region, include workshops on civic rights and responsibilities, environmental awareness, and cultural exchange. For example, a camp in Bouskoura in July 2026 featured sessions on democratic participation and community service, as confirmed by the regional youth department.
Participants, aged 12 to 18, also take part in sports, arts, and leadership training. The goal is to provide a safe and structured environment where youth can develop skills and values. No specific statistics on attendance or outcomes were available from verified sources as of July 30, 2026.
This initiative aligns with Morocco's national youth strategy, which emphasizes education and civic engagement. The camps are free or subsidized for families, ensuring broad access.
