Abstract
Youth in Morocco play a significant role in arts and humanities, reflecting Africa's rich cultural heritage. An ethnographic approach involving participant observation, interviews, and surveys to understand youth engagement with local art forms and historical narratives. Youth initiatives have revitalized traditional Moroccan art forms such as Gnawa music and Berber pottery, contributing to cultural preservation and identity formation. Youth-led projects enhance community cohesion and economic development in rural areas, while also fostering intergenerational dialogue on cultural heritage. Support for youth arts initiatives should include mentorship programmes and infrastructure support to sustain these vibrant cultural expressions.
