On January 22nd, HAF held its first training session at the Center for Community Consensus-Building and Sustainable Development.  This day-long workshop trained twenty-five Master level students – selected from over 100 applicants – at Hassan II University’s Faculty of Law, Economics, and Social Sciences, in the basic approach to participatory development through interactive activities and discussion.

Together, as a large group, participants reached consensus for areas of priority reform at the university.
