Public broadcaster SNRT launches fourth edition of Open Days for Moroccans Abroad
The National Company of Broadcasting and Television (SNRT), Morocco's public broadcasting corporation, marked National Migrant Day on Sunday, August 10, by inaugurating the fourth edition of its Open Days for Moroccans living abroad. The event, held at SNRT's Rabat headquarters, carried the theme: «SNRT: A Permanent Communication Bridge with Moroccans Worldwide». The program opened with guided tours for young members of the Moroccan diaspora, offering a behind-the-scenes look at various radio and TV departments. Visitors discovered SNRT's bouquet of nine general and thematic TV channels, four national radio stations, and 11 regional stations. As highlighted in a press release, this public service media offering is designed to meet audience expectations in information, culture, and entertainment. Sessions also emphasized the broadcaster's core values, including respect for freedom of expression, pluralism, the right to information, editorial independence, and adherence to national laws. Presentations underscored SNRT's central role in delivering high-quality public service media, fostering societal dialogue, strengthening social cohesion, promoting Moroccan creativity, and supporting the national audiovisual industry. Participants were introduced to SNRT's linguistically and culturally diverse programming, which includes content in Arabic and Amazigh (in its three variants: Tachelhit, Tarifit, and Tamazight), as well as in French, Spanish, and English. This approach reflects the company's integrated strategy to place Moroccans abroad at the heart of its mission. Diaspora-focused TV shows such as Asdae Al Jalia, Maghribiates, and Canal Atlas, along with radio programs like Marocains du Monde and Qadaya Al Jalia, were presented as platforms that reflect the experiences and achievements of Moroccans abroad. Youth-oriented programs such as Sawt Achabab and Monadara were also highlighted for giving young people a voice in both national and international debates. The event also detailed SNRT's rigorous selection process for TV and radio projects, which is based on precise criteria, data analysis, focus groups, and review by an ethics committee to ensure compliance with editorial guidelines and the company's charter. SNRT's digital strategy was showcased through platforms such as the award-winning SNRT Live app, Botola, StandUp, Lalla Laâroussa, and the VOD platform Forja. These services, available in HD satellite and online, aim to keep Moroccans abroad permanently connected to their homeland. According to SNRT, the Open Days initiative forms part of a broader strategy to reinforce its role as a citizen-focused public media institution—maintaining continuous dialogue with audiences, gathering feedback, and positioning itself as a modern, forward-looking player in Morocco's audiovisual landscape.

Community turns up in droves at historic building in Wexford for final time ahead of regeneration project
Gorey Guardian Today at 07:00 Wexford County Council hosted successful Open Days at the Gorey Market House recently, where members of the community and visitors to Gorey were given the chance to see the iconic building as it stands before the initial phase of the regeneration project begins. The Market House, located on Main Street, holds a significant place in the town's history. The affection the local community have for the building was evident in the interest and enthusiasm shown for the regeneration project during the open days. District Manager Philip Knight expressed his gratitude to the large public turnout, highlighting the strong community connection to the building. 'We are thrilled by the overwhelming interest and support shown during these Open Days. The Market House will soon be transformed into a vibrant social and community hub, inspired by the innovative European Bauhaus Principles that guide this regeneration project,' he said. During the open days on Friday, May 23 and Saturday, May 24, local historian, Willie Willoughby, conducted talks on the rich history of the Market House. Attendees were captivated by stories recently uncovered, including the early days of the Gorey Credit Union operating within the building and a story about how a friendship began when two ladies received keys to their new home many years ago in the chamber office. Throughout the Open Days, video interviews were conducted with local residents, business owners, and community groups to capture their memories and hopes for the future of the Market House. These interviews will form part of ongoing project updates to keep the public informed as the regeneration progresses. Catherine Connaughton, Project Officer from the EU Programmes Division of the Southern Regional Assembly, was also present for the open days. 'The incredible community response to the Gorey Market House Open Days reflects exactly what THRIVE is all about, putting people, place and pride in local heritage at the heart of local development. "By working with the community to reimagine this historic space, we're supporting a shared vision for a vibrant, inclusive town centre. It was a pleasure to hear memories from those connected to this building over the years,' said Catherine. The Gorey Market House project is co-funded by the Government of Ireland, the European Union through the ERDF Southern, Eastern and Midland Regional Programme 2021–2027, and Wexford County Council.
