 This Spanish-Moroccan project aims to become an axis of knowledge, training, culture, and creation of opportunities that respond to the needs of women and African societies in general and Moroccans in particular, and especially, the city of Nador and the Eastern region. It also aims to be a node of leadership, reflection, and meeting for women in Morocco and throughout Africa.

In the project, the use and learning of new information and communication technologies will be encouraged specifically, as well as the creation of technology-based companies. Likewise, the dissemination of culture and the arts, especially African ones, will be promoted through a careful cultural program. On the other hand, in the international area, the “Phare Nador” aims to generate and transmit knowledge through research, reflection and encounter. Through the use of new information and communication technologies, under the title “Nador Women’s Hub”, a meeting place for women and networks of African women committed to equality in different areas of society will be promoted.
