The Regional seminar organised by the Moroccan School (28-29 November 2014, Marrakesh) took place on the occasion of the 2nd World Human Rights Forum and followed the first Regional seminar organised by the Tunisian School in Hammamet in November 2013.
Around 100 participants attended the event. They were from the two Schools and from civil society representatives from different countries of the Mediterranean region, notably Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Tunisia and Yemen. The seminar focused on conditions for stability of democratic processes, such as participatory democracy, the crucial role of civil society and the need to strengthen human rights and democratic pluralism in the South Mediterranean Region.
The Regional seminar was organised with the financial support of the Joint Programme between the European Union and the Council of Europe entitled "Strengthening democratic reform in the southern Neighbourhood" (South Programme).
