What the grant funds

For Fiscal Year 2025, American Spaces Morocco aims to continue delivering impactful programs that promote American excellence and encourage the best and brightest young Moroccans, ages 18 to 30, to increase their engagement with America. The programming will focus on four key areas: English language learning, creative economies, digital transformation, and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math). The English Language Learning initiative will provide immersive, skill-building opportunities that enhance language proficiency while fostering cultural exchange and greater appreciation of American values. Creative economy programming will build connections between American and Moroccan artists, entrepreneurs, and innovators, with the goal of increasing interest in U.S. expertise, services, and educational opportunities within creative industries. Digital transformation programs will offer participants—including individuals and small businesses—the tools and knowledge needed to thrive in an increasingly digital world, with an emphasis on the influence and benefits of American technology. STEAM initiatives will promote hands-on learning and inspire Moroccan youth to explore academic and professional paths in STEAM-related fields, while also encouraging them to consider higher education in the United States. Programs will be held primarily in person at American Spaces, with virtual components used to extend reach or serve as the main method of delivery when necessary. The initiative seeks proposals that prioritize the needs of young participants while minimizing administrative and equipment costs. A successful proposal will include a detailed monthly calendar of activities spanning at least eight months and address one or more of the core focus areas. Programming may be implemented at one or both American Spaces locations as well as with local partner organizations dedicated to amplifying American culture.
