The Association of Education, Training and social Development (AEFDS)

The Association of Education, Training, and Social Development (AEFDS)

The Association of Education, Training, and Social Development (AEFDS) is a Moroccan NGO with 47 branches. Established in 1990, AEFDS is a non-profit organization dedicated to serving the public interest and ensuring the welfare of citizens through various social, educational, health, and sports initiatives, as well as artistic and cultural events. The association also focuses on media visibility and communication. The headquarters of AEFDS is located in Casablanca, the economic capital of Morocco.

In 2011, a branch of the NGO was founded in Tetouan (in the north of the country) by a group of young people who shared the same goals of contributing to the development of their society. Initially focusing on children, youth, and women in rural areas, this branch eventually expanded its efforts to the city.

Activities:

  • Raising Awareness on SDGs: Working on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to increase awareness of the Global Goals within Moroccan society.
  • Global Festival of Action for Sustainable Development: Participation in the Global Festival of Action for Sustainable Development in Bonn, Germany, in 2018 and 2019.
  • Mediterranean Forum of Tetouan for SDGs: Organization of the Mediterranean Forum of Tetouan for SDGs in partnership with the United Nations Information Centre in 2019 and 2020.
  • Awareness Campaigns: Organization of sensitization and awareness campaigns in collaboration with various partners on a range of topics.
  • Youth Capacity Building: Launching the “Youth in Action” initiative, which included 50 workshops aimed at building the capacities of young people.
  • Erasmus+ Project Participation: Participation in the Erasmus+ Project “Change Mind 2021-1-EL02-KA153-YOU-000018851” in Athens, Greece.
  • Workshops and Summer Camps: Organizing workshops for children, youth, and women, as well as summer camps for children and youth.

This expertise makes AEFDS an ideal partner to bring experience with underserved groups into projects and to contribute as a co-leader for PR3 – the development of a mentorship program.
