Rooted in the traditions of the populations of the South, it is manifested by a unique linguistic, artistic and social richness. However, due the rapid modernization and cultural standardization, the preservation of this heritage becomes a necessity. How, in 2025, can we guarantee the transmission of Hassani culture to future generations while promoting it on the national and international scene?
Integrating Hassani culture into education
Education plays a fundamental role in the preservation of any culture. Introducing the Hassani language and traditions into the school curricula of the Saharan regions is an essential step. This includes:
Teaching the Hassani language : as a living language, it should be valued in academic curricula to encourage its learning and daily use.
Documenting oral traditions : including poems, songs, and proverbs in school textbooks.
Extracurricular activities : organize cultural workshops to introduce young people to local artistic and craft practices.
By investing in education, Hassani culture can be transmitted in all its richness and diversity.
Digitizing and documenting Hassani heritage
With technological evolution, the digitization of heritage is a major opportunity. In 2025, it is imperative to create digital archives accessible to all. Here are some initiatives to consider:
Linguistic and cultural database : bringing together Hassani tales, songs, dances, and proverbs in an online platform.
Mobile applications : developing educational and interactive tools to learn the language and discover traditions.
Social media and media : Use these channels to promote aspects of Hassani culture, whether through videos, podcasts or documentaries.
Digitization is also a way to make this heritage accessible to an international audience and to create bridges between cultures.
Supporting local artists and artisans
Artists, musicians, and artisans are the living guardians of Hassani culture. Their work deserves specific support to ensure the sustainability of their creations. In 2025, it would be relevant to:
Encourage cultural festivals : such as the Moussem of Tan-Tan, recognized by UNESCO, to highlight Saharan traditions.
Subsidizing artistic projects : providing funding to Hassani artists to produce and distribute their works.
Promote local crafts : enhance products such as jewelry, textiles or pottery with quality labels and their export.
Such support strengthens the local economy while preventing these practices from falling into oblivion.

Raising awareness among Moroccans of the richness of their heritage
Preserving Hassani culture is not just a concern for the people of the Saharan regions, but for all Moroccans. National awareness campaigns can help to raise awareness and appreciation of this unique heritage. These campaigns may include:
Television programs : shows and documentaries on the daily life, rites and customs of the Sahrawis.
Exhibitions and museums : creating spaces dedicated to Hassani culture in major Moroccan cities.
Cultural days : organize interactive events to allow citizens to discover this culture in a fun way.
Involving youth and the diaspora
Young people and the Moroccan diaspora can play a crucial role in preserving Hassani culture. In 2025, it is possible to actively involve them:
Cultural exchange programs : encouraging young Moroccans to visit Saharan regions and participate in local projects.
Training and volunteering : offer internships or volunteering opportunities to contribute to the preservation of heritage.
Use of social networks : encourage young people to create online content (videos, articles, podcasts) around Hassani culture.
Strengthening the institutional framework
Moroccan institutions have a key role in protecting this heritage. In 2024, they could:
Create a national fund for Hassani culture : to finance local initiatives.
Adopt protective laws : prohibit the unauthorized copying or commercial exploitation of Hassani symbols and creations.
Collaborate with UNESCO : to include more elements of this culture in the world’s intangible heritage.
In conclusion
Hassani culture is a jewel that enriches Moroccan identity. Its preservation requires collective mobilization, combining education, technology, artistic support and awareness. In 2024, concrete and inclusive actions can guarantee the sustainability of this heritage while promoting it as a vector of national cohesion and international attractiveness. Protecting Hassani culture means safeguarding an essential part of the Saharan and Moroccan soul.
