The wealth of Moroccan culture lies in Panama to create a bridge of traditions and values that bring these two peoples closer.

To promote an enriching cultural exchange between Morocco and Panama, the event "Morocco in Panama: Cultures and Crafts" will be held from November 14 to 17 at the Omar Park Club House, with families and the public at large to enjoy a unique and free experience.

Activities will include art exhibitions, workshops guided by Moroccan artisans, calligraphy demonstrations, henne tattoos and a market for traditional products, creating an experience that encapsulates the essence of Morocco.

Visitors will also have an opportunity to enjoy their experiences with talented Panamanian artisans, who will share their traditions and skills and share with them the live creation of different artisan products, showing Panama's diversity and diversity in this unique interchange between countries.
