Lost in Marrakech: Connecting Cultures Through Food

Earlier this year, Morocco and Finland came together around the same table in Marrakech ❤️

We welcomed 20 young participants for Lost in Marrakech, an Erasmus+ Youth Exchange built around cultural discovery, everyday life and identity.

Food was at the heart of the exchange 🍲, giving participants a hands-on way to explore the similarities and differences between Moroccan and Finnish cultures.

Over the course of the programme, they:
🌟 Got to know each other and built connections across cultures
🌟 Explored traditions, daily practices and different ways of life
🌟 Compared everyday meals and culinary traditions
🌟 Used food as a starting point for deeper conversations about culture and identity

It was a week full of exchange, curiosity and plenty of shared meals along the way 🍽️
