The week-long festival held majorly in Rabat, which concluded on July 8, brought together talented storytellers, musicians, and street artists from over 30 countries, creating a unique platform for cultural exchange and artistic expression.

The festival has become a beacon for storytellers from around the world, transcending linguistic, religious, and ethnic barriers.

Despite their diverse backgrounds, these storytellers share a common language – the language of human values, peace, love, and security.

This year’s edition saw approximately 150 artists entertaining audiences with their captivating stories, music, and performances.

The festival’s significance extends beyond mere entertainment, as it also aims to preserve and modernize the ancient art of storytelling.
