From Norway to Morocco
The work carried out in Oslo therefore gave rise to a new intervention and prevention tool which we proposed to disseminate widely in Morocco by training educators from the country's main youth organizations in the techniques and pedagogy developed in Norway.
Indeed, we have found that the tool developed to prevent violence is perfectly adapted to encourage youth to put their energy at the service of their country, rather than wanting to leave it at any cost. The meetings and links created with positive role models, individuals who have managed to develop a professional or social activity, thanks to their intelligence, courage, and perseverance, show them that, among other things, one can succeed in their own country and how working to solve difficulties rather than fleeing them can be rewarding.
Thanks to financial support from the Norwegian Ministry of Justice and Public Security, we have been able to transfer the knowledge gained in Oslo to Morocco.
Our Steps
Phase 1 – Oslo (2018)
Inspiring was born in Norway: young people interviewed individuals who inspired them (craftsmen, artists, healthcare workers, entrepreneurs…). The camera became a pretext for dialogue, self-reflection, and regaining confidence.
Phase 2 – Morocco
The project expanded to several cities. We trained educators and associations, organized video workshops, and released the first interviews. Young people discovered diverse life paths and opened up to new perspectives.
Phase 3 – The Network
Around Inspiring, a community emerged: professionals, associations, and partner institutions shared practices, pooled resources, and supported one another to strengthen local initiatives.
Phase 4 – Method & Resources
We structured a clear process: preparing the interview, filming the encounter, simple editing, and then sharing (in schools, associations, or public screenings). Practical guides and tools made this method accessible to all.
Phase 5 – Scaling Up
Workshops multiplied and momentum grew. Young people found their voices, learned to listen, ask questions, and tell stories. Feedback from educators confirmed the project’s social value.
Phase 6 – Personalization & Mentorship
We strengthened individual support: a mentor could accompany a young participant, helping them clarify their goals and take concrete steps. Masterclasses and public screenings enriched the journey.
Phase 7 – Focus on Impact (since 2025)
We consolidated our pillars (workshops, encounters, videos, mentorship), deepened local and international partnerships, and improved the way we measure results. This phase also prepares for expansion into new regions and countries.
