The field trip with undergraduate and graduate students of North African Politics and Government taught by Dr. Katja Žvan Elliott to Zawiya Ahansal was a complete success. In this three-day trip, students had a chance to learn about the rich political and religious history of the area, about the importance of Zawiyas in rural areas, and about the successful participatory development projects carried out by the Atlas Cultural Foundation. Students participated in the tutoring program for local children, talked to the Sheikh and women of the co-op, hiked a bunch, and much more. Thank you to Cloe Medina Erickson and Ismail Barda for organizing and for being great hosts, to Dr. Doris Gray and Smita Kumar for accompanying the group, to SHSS for funding part of the trip, and to Chakib and Farid for being amazing drivers.
