French Institute of El Jadida

## A place for learning and cultural encounters At 22 Avenue de la Marche Verte, the Institut français d’El Jadida is both a language-learning centre and a multidisciplinary cultural venue serving the city and the wider Doukkala region. Its activities combine French courses and examinations, media-library resources, screenings, visual art, live performances and talks. The programme creates opportunities for local and visiting artists to connect with audiences and for families and young people to engage with culture. ## Arts and cultural programming in 2026 In 2026 the institute presents cinema, youth workshops, exhibitions and concerts. « Au fil du mouvement » showcased the thread-based visual practice of local artist Abderrahim Cheqrouni from 12 to 26 September. An open day on 26 September introduced visitors to the media library, courses and activities. October announcements include exhibitions addressing architecture and painting, the performance « Iqtibās » and a concert by Oum.
