High Atlas Foundation

As part of the “Enhancing Civil Society with University Engagement” program implemented by the High Atlas Foundation, in partnership with Mohammed First University and the Faculty of Legal, Economic and Social Sciences in Oujda, and with the support of the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), students received an in-depth training session titled “Understanding and Applying Law No. 02.03 Through Real-Life Cases”, facilitated by Prof. Hamid Rbii.

The session focused on the rights of migrants and refugees, Morocco’s legal framework on migration and asylum, and the importance of aligning national legislation with international human rights standards to ensure dignity, equality, and access to justice for vulnerable groups.

Special thanks to Prof. Hamid Rbii and all participants for their active engagement and valuable contributions.

I'm proud to share that I'll be speaking at the Climate Solutions Prize Festival —
June 8–9, 2026 in Montréal.

Two days. The founders, investors, policymakers, and ecosystem leaders who are
actually driving the climate transition, in the same room, at the same time. The
programming is built around one question: what does it take to move climate
solutions from promising to deployed, at scale, right now?

I'm honoured to be part of that conversation. If you're working on the climate
transition: as a builder, an investor, a policymaker, or an advocate, this is where you
want to be.

Their presentations explored key and interconnected themes, including water access and management, agriculture; particularly the role of women in farming systems, and climate variability and its impact on rural livelihoods.

Through direct engagement with local communities, the students were able to connect academic research with lived experiences, offering valuable insights into both challenges and resilience strategies within these areas.

Despite unexpected changes during their field experience, they demonstrated strong adaptability, professionalism, and a genuine commitment to learning from the Moroccan community.

We are grateful for this meaningful exchange of knowledge and perspectives, which reflects the importance of collaborative learning and community-based research.

📚⚖️ Welcoming the second cohort of the Legal Clinic Program in Oujda!

On April 30, students from the Faculty of Legal, Economic, and Social Sciences at Mohammed I University gathered for the official launch of the program’s second cohort, implemented by the High Atlas Foundation in partnership with Mohammed I University and funded by the National Endowment for Democracy.

Through experiential learning, mobile legal clinics, and collaboration with civil society organizations, students will gain hands-on legal experience while supporting communities across the Oriental region with legal awareness and free consultations.

This initiative reflects a shared commitment to strengthening university–civil society engagement and empowering future legal professionals to drive positive social impact in Morocco.

We are inspired by the enthusiasm and dedication shown by the students and look forward to the meaningful work ahead! 🌍🤝
