3-Educational Events Every Year :
From residents of Marrakech to interested tourists from all over Morocco and beyond, we host an endless number of free events. Simply show up to learn; there are no fees or tickets required.
To keep things interesting, we switch up the topics each year. For example, we might discuss women’s rights or sustainable agriculture one season, AI ethics the next, or climate change. Think thought-provoking public talks, interactive workshops, panel discussions, and cultural evenings that encourage dialogue and ideas. All of these events are intended for the community.
2024 examples include:
- The March 2024 “Digital Transformation in Morocco” lecture series, where academic and industry experts discussed how technology is changing the nature of work.
- “Sustainable Water Management Workshop” (June 2024): Engaging workshops on drought solutions featuring field demonstrations for farmers and students.
- “Cultural Heritage & Identity” Public Forum (October 2024): Historians and artists examining Marrakech’s past, with questions and answers for all ages.
- High school students and adults can enrol in the free
- “Youth Entrepreneurship Bootcamp” in November 2024 to learn how to launch green businesses. WHO partners talk about post-pandemic resilience at the
- “Global Health Challenges” Talk in December 2024.
These events, which take place throughout our 16 faculties and schools, are part of UCA’s yearly commitment to lifelong learning for the general public.

Every year, each of the 15 establishments under the UCA umbrella organises its own Journées Portes Ouvertes – two full days exclusively dedicated to high-school seniors (bacheliers).
During these open days you will:
