Over the past few years, we have welcomed a number of groups to Sefrou who were interested in getting to know Moroccan culture and history first-hand. Our first group was led by Morocco Exchange, a cross-cultural education non-profit with the aim of “building bridges of genuine human connection between the Muslim and Western worlds”. The second group was a group of high school students led by the organization Where There Be Dragons. Lastly, we hosted a delegation from the Center for Women and Democracy. For each of our groups, we conducted classes teaching the art of our hand-knotted buttons taught by our cooperative members. We also held a number of dialogues about the challenges Moroccan women face in establishing and maintaining a successful cooperative.
If you are passing through Sefrou, please let us know. We would happy to arrange a button-learning class that can also be combined with a luncheon. A portion of the class fees are donated back to the Golden Buttons Association. Class fees vary on the size of the class. Please contact us for further information.
