About us
Academia Arabesca is a non-profit association based in Stockholm and Marrakech.
The activities are based on a creative and open cooperation with other cultural associations, among the public, in the educational system and in various media to spread a deeper and broader knowledge about – and increased understanding of – different cultural expressions in the MENA countries (Middle East and North Africa) in order to work for peace, democracy and multicultural cooperation.
