Cultural Adaptation and Resilience in Southern African Migrant Communities of Morocco,

Southern African migrant communities in Morocco have faced challenges related to cultural adaptation and resilience over recent decades. Qualitative research methods were employed through participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis among the migrant communities in Morocco. Participants reported significant cultural adaptation efforts, including language acquisition and integration into local social networks. A notable theme was the use of traditional festivals to bridge cultural gaps. The findings suggest that while challenges persist, there is a robust capacity for cultural resilience among migrant communities in Morocco. Policy makers should consider promoting intercultural education programmes and fostering community-led development initiatives to support migrants' integration.
