Celebrating Youth Leadership in Marrakech-Safi
Today marked a significant milestone in the Marrakech-Safi region with the inauguration of the first session of the Children’s Parliament for the 2026-2028 term. This event unfolded in an atmosphere charged with enthusiasm and seriousness, attracting a notable presence of officials and educational stakeholders. It reflects the ongoing dynamism surrounding childhood issues in Morocco, as well as the commitment to fostering a generation of responsible leaders.
This educational event was not merely a routine organizational endeavor; it carried a unique symbolism with the ceremonial passing of responsibility from the previous regional representative, Al-Muhtadi Billah Chakroun. His tenure from 2022 to 2025 was marked by remarkable initiatives and a proactive role in addressing childhood-related matters. Chakroun is regarded as an inspiring figure in the realm of excellence, having emerged from a modest social background to establish his name through hard work, ambition, and leadership qualities.
Despite the challenges he encountered, Chakroun demonstrated resilience and steadfastness, affirming that genuine willpower remains the decisive factor in achieving success. In a related context, the spotlight also shone on student Ishraq Ramz, who was selected to join the regional Children’s Parliament, continuing a legacy of excellence within her educational institution. Her selection holds particular significance, as she previously benefited from mentorship under Chakroun during the regional student council, highlighting the positive impact of educational support in nurturing a generation ready to embrace responsibility.
The event also included a well-deserved moment of recognition, during which Al-Muhtadi Billah Chakroun was awarded a certificate of appreciation from the National Observatory for Children's Rights, acknowledging his efforts and contributions throughout his term. This step underscores the importance of valuing and encouraging young talents to persist in their endeavors.
Numerous institutional actors were present at this gathering, including representatives from the National Observatory for Children’s Rights, alongside officials from the national education sector, emphasizing a unified effort to promote childhood issues and enhance their participation in public life. This educational appointment reinforces the growing belief that investing in childhood is no longer an option but a strategic necessity, dictated by current challenges and future aspirations. It aims to instill values of active citizenship, develop civic awareness, and prepare a generation that is conscious and engaged in decision-making.
