The second one, \u201cThe Integration of Empowerment and Participatory Methodologies\u201d, was about gender, empowerment, and development in Morocco.<br \/>\nThe presentations had two purposes. First, they were intended to deepen the students&#8217; understanding of HAF\u00b4s development work in Morocco. The students were given an overview of HAF\u00b4s mission and the participatory approach as a core principle of HAF\u00b4s work.
