Toronto, August 28, 2017 <\/strong>\u2013  Marchande d\u2019id\u00e9es interculturelles inc. is pleased to announce the support of the Embassy of Canada to Morocco to its intercultural exchange project between Canada and Morocco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

This first exchange\u2014which is part of a series of similar events planned for 2018\u2014will be held at the Bivouac Le Petit Prince, in October 2017 in M\u2019Hamid El Ghizlane, Morocco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are particularly proud to contribute to the development of cultural exchanges between Canada and Morocco. We are delighted with this first collaboration between indigenous musicians from Canada and nomadic musicians from Morocco, which will showcase the cultural diversity of the two communities while promoting the values of tolerance, peace and living together.\u201d S.E. Nathalie Dub\u00e9, Ambassador of Canada to Morocco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The partnership will enable Marchande d\u2019id\u00e9es interculturelles inc. to offer an exchange visit to Indigenous musicians from Canada with Moroccan musicians, including a 5-day musical residency as part of the Festival Taragalte under the stars<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On October 19th, four members of the Kanehsat\u00e0: ke RedTail Spirit Singers (RTSS)<\/strong> group will fly to Morocco to meet Generation Taragalte<\/strong>, a group of five nomadic young musicians. It is upstream of the 8th edition of the Festival Taragalte under the stars, which will be held from 27 to 29 October, and in partnership with the latter, that the two groups will collaborate, with the goal of creating and preparing a common concert where each style of music will be paired to provide listeners with an innovative musical event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe want to foster favourable conditions to encourage the exchange of know-how, customs and cultural heritage between the two communities,\u201d said president and founder Nathalie L\u00e9vesque. \u201cSuch exchanges contribute to the development of each person, whether it be at the personal, professional or social level. \u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marchande d\u2019id\u00e9es interculturelles is especially proud of the partnership with the Embassy of Canada in Morocco since it supports its mission to promote intercultural openness and develop sustainable partnerships between communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the first collaboration between Marchande d\u2019id\u00e9es interculturelles and Morocco and is the initial stage for the development of a long-term partnership centered on the celebration of music and cultures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exchange will provide opportunities for participants to share ideas, strategies and successes; the possibility of building lasting friendships; and a greater appreciation of their diversity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt the base, we all have one thing in common: life,\u201d said RTSS founding member Michel Tremblay. \u201cLet us celebrate it with joy and peace. Sk\u00e9:nen K\u00f3:wa! (great peace) \u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project’s goals are:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
