The Higher Institute for Audiovisual Professions and Cinema in Rabat has established strategic partnerships with over 20 national and international institutions to enhance expertise exchange and improve training and research frameworks in audiovisual and cinematic fields. This initiative coincides with the first edition of the “Partners Forum,” themed “From Image to Virtual World: Establishing Sustainable Partnerships.”
Strengthening Academic Collaboration
Under the leadership of Director Abdessamad Moutia, these agreements were signed with representatives from constitutional bodies, universities, specialized schools, and civil society organizations, as well as national and international professional organizations. This collaborative effort aims to solidify academic and scientific partnerships while sharing competencies, expertise, and best practices.
Moutia emphasized that these partnerships mark a crucial step towards turning theoretical cooperation into tangible projects and programs that enhance capabilities. He noted that the forum takes place during a strategic transformation at the institute, following the government’s approval of a new decree regulating its operations, which has increased the intake of international students to 25%, thereby enhancing the institute’s global engagement.
Innovative Educational Pathways
The upcoming academic year will see the launch of three new academic tracks: a degree in Sound and Image Technology, a degree in Cinema and Video Games Production, and a master’s program in Audiovisual Innovation Management. These additions aim to align with the significant changes occurring in the sector.
In his remarks, Minister of Youth, Culture, and Communication, Mohamed Mahdi Ben Said, represented by the secretary general of the communication sector, Abdelaziz Boujdaini, highlighted that these agreements reflect a collective commitment to bolster cooperation between educational institutions and industry stakeholders. This vision promotes research, innovation, and the development of national competencies.
Regional Expansion and Opportunities
The establishment of a regional branch of the institute in Dakhla aims to bring specialized training closer to youth in the southern regions and open opportunities for African talents to access educational offerings. This initiative is in line with ongoing efforts to enhance South-South cooperation.
Additionally, the forum is set to feature participatory workshops focusing on curriculum development, aligning training with job market demands, and boosting scientific research and innovation. It also aims to broaden areas of collaboration and exchange regarding technical and production expertise.
