The project will be organized by JEC which has started organizing this kind of project six years ago. Every year we got positive feedback from the participants and from the partners. The participants will get in contact with the Moroccan techniques to work pottery. They will get knowledge about how to do pottery articles from working and preparing the clay to decorating the articles. This activity doesn’t require individual skills but it demands your motivation to overcome all difficulties. JEC will provide you all the materials needed by this activity. One of the aims of these projects is to discover the Moroccan culture and history and compare this to yours. The training course will be in the morning from 9 to 12 am if needed some courses could be given in the afternoons.
