22. Tunisair m'a bien servie!

Image
De nature "nabbara", j'ai constaté que la majorité des Tunisiens (je dis bien la majorité et non pas tous !) ne font que du "tanbir".  Pour ceux qui ne comprennent pas ce terme, "nabbar/nabbara" c'est un râleur/une râleuse, qui se plaint souvent.  Sur les sites internet et les réseaux socieux, j'ai toujours lu des commentaires négatifs à propos de la compagnie aérienne nationale "Tunisair" et plus précisément les plats qu'ils servent pendant les vols. On dit souvent que c'est écœurant (et d’autres adjectifs horribles…). Les passagers qui prennent des vols en classe économique voudraient du caviar avec du champagne peut-être…  Hier, j'ai pris le vol 712 en provenance de Casablanca vers Tunis.  Sabrine Jartouh  © 2018 L'équipage était adorable, souriant et serviable.  A peine 30 minutes de vol et les repas étaient servis.  Au menu, il y avait:  Entrée : salade verte comportant des maïs, ...

21. AUI: final episode

Image
"Hchoma" is a synonym of "shame" in Moroccan Darija... During my last semester at Akhawayne University, I have been given the opportunity to work on a project called .. " Hch'O'ma: a documentary about the liberation of sexual discourse in Morocco "  I have joined one of the pioneers in the bubble of media production at AUI.  However, I won't mention her name for privacy reasons (others know her very well).   Our research question was very simple:  For those who do not speak neither French nor English, how can they get their sexual education in Moroccan Darija?   The project is the fruit of a question that was asked between a group of educated students one day.  The need and the duty to think about the others has pushed us to dig deeper into our research and see the causes/consequences of not being well-informed about the sexuality in general within the Moroccan society/context.  I was honored to work on this project in the sen...

20. Design Thinking Process Workshop

Image
T oday was an extremely very interesting day.  I would have never imagined such a great experience. At first, when I heard that the workshop will last six hours in a row, I was really shocked and stressed out. I was thinking about how boring and exhausting the day will be. But actually, after the first part of the workshop, I realized that it's really fun and didn't feel the time going at all.  Mr.Yassine Maghnouj is a very talented young Moroccan entrepreneur who has a lot of knowledge about Design in general.   Today, he shared with us his level of expertise and his incredible skills in the Design Thinking process. He made a very interesting approach in order to make us learn the basics of Design thinking. The "Wallet" activity was an exciting experience where we learned the theory/rules and the practical part at the same time. Even though we stopped at the prototyping and didn't finish our product to reach the production part but, I...

19. Ifrane, la ville magique

Image
Ifrane, une petite ville qu'on nomme aussi la Suisse du Maroc, est plus qu'une simple ville.  Ifrane, avec ses gigantesques Cèdres parfumés, son ciel vaste, son lac orné par de jolis canards et ses forêts pleines de mystères.  Ifrane ensorcèle tous ceux qui la visitent.  Ifrane surprend les touristes par la beauté et la propreté qui existent dans un pays qu'ils classifient du tiers monde.  Ifrane, pleine d'amour et de nature, inspire les artistes qui s'y réfugient.  Aujourd'hui, après trois années et demi passées dans cette magnifique ville, j'ai contemplé sa beauté pour une nième fois et je suis tombée amoureuse ... une nième fois.      AKHAWAYN UNIVERSITY IN IFRANE  La place des amoureux  " Le tableau incomplet"  " Les tajines glacés"  " Marcher ou nager? "  " Ce qu'on ne voit pas tous les jours"  " La neige légère"  "...
