This project is a presentation based on 4 online exchanges and 1 interview with Moroccan college students from Al Akhawayn University. In our discussion, we surveyed the political and religious identity of Moroccan youth, difficulties in Moroccan society and their view of the nation's reality and future. These opinions were organized and delivered in a YouTube video, in Modern Standard Arabic. The presentation is structured in three main parts: the political life, social life and religious life in Morocco.
