The Moroccan secretariat of state in charge of youth organized during July and August four cultural camps in France, in which 80 young Moroccans took part, according to the August 18 edition of <i>Al-'Alam</i> newspaper. These camps, whose activities lasted for 15 days, allowed the young Moroccans to meet young French counterparts and to "enhance values of mutual understanding and respect," in which the cultural exchange program believes. The young Moroccans also visited the archeological and tourist sites in the French cities of Lille, Nice and Cannes.
As part of the same program, some 70 young French visited Morocco during July, where they participated in cultural, art, sports and tourist activities in the cities of Tangier, Fez, Marrakech, Casablanca and Rabat.
