Cultural Preservation & Coexistence in Essaouira
Organization information
High Atlas Foundation
Location: New York, United States of America
Summary
The High Atlas Foundation and its partners have initiated a preservation and maintenance program for the Muslim, Christian, and Jewish cemeteries in Essaouira, which stand as present-day reminders of the multicultural past of this small city and Morocco at-large, where people of different faiths shared a town, a life, work, a culture, and language. This project supports building a website and an education program for students of Essaouira and planting & maintenance of the cemeteries.
