Speak Up
SPEAK UP is one of Alfariq’s most ambitious national programs, created to offer Moroccan youth a structured path to mastering public speaking, debate, and persuasive communication. It is the first of its kind within Alfariq’s portfolio, developed with the goal of empowering young people to become articulate, thoughtful, and courageous speakers who can advocate for change in their communities. The program is especially significant for targeting youth in Ouarzazate, offering them professional training in a skill often overlooked in conventional education: the ability to stand up, speak out, and shape public opinion with clarity and confidence.

Practical Training in Public Speaking and Debate
Over the course of two dynamic editions, each spanning three intensive days, participants—mainly youth from Ouarzazate—engaged in a series of immersive workshops on rhetoric, public expression, and structured debate. The sessions were led by certified trainers, civil society actors, and experienced public speakers. Using creative and applied techniques such as role-playing, debate simulations, and storytelling, the program helped participants confront one of the most common fears among youth: speaking in public. In addition to skill-building, participants explored how to use their voice to tackle real social issues and how to frame their messages for impact and empathy.
From Personal Growth to Civic Engagement
"Najahi fi Aazimati" is more than just a training program; it is a movement that empowers youth to take charge of their futures and become active contributors to their communities. By instilling a culture of innovation, entrepreneurship, and leadership, the program enables participants to transition from passive learners to proactive changemakers. Through immersive workshops, real-world problem-solving exercises, and mentorship from industry experts, participants not only develop technical and business skills but also gain the confidence to turn their ideas into reality. With each new edition, "Najahi fi Aazimati" continues to expand its reach, shaping a new generation of socially responsible entrepreneurs who are committed to driving sustainable development in Drâa-Tafilalet and beyond.
