And through the new appear and tangier lesson plan as no i was born and raised in germany, one of our special i spent my summer breaks in tangier, year after year. In turn off, i was dosma by what else connects you to morocco where language, my lou, i saw and i definitely still feel a personal bond, is often what kind of bond are you. I have family here and i visited often. I understand this country. Im the office these were making our way to the heart of tangier, the medina, or old city, the alleyways that are alive with the typical hustle and bustle of crofts people. Tre. Does. Small kit sang cafes because we now heading to suca dark. Hear me now the innocent acronym, so id back you like inside and know exactly what and in front of it is took a barrel said as a sit i always, id be interested in living with you regarding books of, you know, what youll do instead of me by phone will help become a to go. I did idea with as the child i was in sold by tangier market with its many stands colors and intense aromas of spices and incense. Ha. A look, thats keanta and these are an to see, blah, id like to try to my mind. I think well, with ended, if you crash them with a more time, got them in your food. Its super aromatic. Id like to take some of that. Im looking forward to my invitation, showed up, well have moroccan fade in berlin. With the grown stucco is the center of tangier. Here the medina meets the new town. On the south side of the square is the cinema riff on our little tool. We discover some shed culinary rates. Right. I mean they also have a pomegranate juice gun. Yeah, weve got par, granite juice, or did you run some . We drank it in bay roots. So of course we have to give them a rocket, pomegranate juice to try. Now im going to go, i love pomegranate juice. Can you walk . Can you please process some juice . As anamosa . He will miss van de la con moroccans talk. I dont understand everything. So i really have to listen closely because its a completely different dialogue elected. And i never heard somebody clinton before either.

The beach promenade here is 6 kilometers long and lined with hotels and clubs. In my childhood. It was mainly just beach train tracks and an old ferry port. Visit the im, im morocco, was the predominantly muslim country. Of course, president , ill did you swim and jump around to your in a bikini woman, not a bikini, but in a swimsuit, on the bob. I have to say what you war often didnt make a difference as far as who got hassled when we went to the water. I had cousin as he went into the water with a skirt and bow upon what i will my swimsuit. She made no difference and we all experienced dense, often even though you didnt harass us with that. Yes, i think many young girls in this country and young women or older women faced this kind of experience on that the same time, i think my image of muslim men up so to speak. I was also very much shaped by the fat this i have great uncle allan cousins, close man relatives or acquaintances who arent like that, who were completely respectful. Also those from very conservative families. They went martin, say atheists, but deeply religious men who regularly pray to foster into religion and that tradition very seriously. Well that they needed to women wearing shorts or a mini skirts who didnt cover her hair deserve the same respect. They saw this is a cool belief thats quite a blessing. I think one thing from a female perspective, morocco is more traditional than she nicea, but Moroccan Women are gaining more and more rights also with male support. But reforms rely on new thinking. The problem and morocco is the lack of education and awareness, but its not only in morocco that women are harassed equally with thats true, of course. Is that say your daughter were 18 or 20 . Would you let her wear a bikini if she asked you . Oh, would that not be okay for you . Oh, let me say i dont think she wants this does not have she was raised with a she did a copy of it or might forbid it. I think why is this . Im just not convinced of the idea here. Thanks for your time. I will let you get back here. Georgia with no problem. Our conversation showed that people here definitely have critical souls. But also often theyre not translated into action because of old islamic traditions and a lack of courage. Not just when it comes to gender issues this afternoon, im meeting with a dedicated Animal Welfare welcome. Hello. Hello everyone. In the middle of tanya, i came across this little dog, actually quite a few dogs as you can hear this a lot of booking going on. But im here visiting a great project.

The punch exit and its when youre sending it home with when i was 8 and or as of because there were lots of stray dogs where i live at one of the way home from school.

Thou lack of them. Are it a little bit hard for them to take care of a donkey when theyre lad . Im so miserable, martin, and i hate to say what i always told them. The most important part of islam is not to pray or fast, but to help c. M has a lula near your town. As it is, you see donkeys are everywhere, american really, but they arent treated very well. And as a child, i also found that a bit strange, prescribe some of them also had wounds on their body and they were used intensely as working animals. And in the end, they help provide an income for many people that but they are treated really very, very badly. And silly models so told us how one center longer needed donkeys are often just discarded like pieces of garbage along with pangs of nostalgia.

Ah, the saw, and this is like a little trip back in time in my life. You might, it takes me back to my childhood when i heard precisely these sorts of womens voices, my, the voices of women from a muslim country. Women at all resting themselves in this way, having fun dancing. Its really touching that more men, those kinds of moments have given me so much damn, youre also fetus. Mit could give much as i feel muslim. Women have although much to give and so much to town. So, and im delighted that so many young women are also preserving this heritage and theyre doing it so loudly with joy and pride. After all, they have no reason to hide morocco has read the sign of the times. An Energy Revolution is taking place here on a huge scale. Here in the middle of the desert is the Worlds Largest concentrated solar power plant. The solar tower captures the light reflected by hundreds of thousands of parabolic mirrors and converts it into energy. The entire complex has a capacity of 580. 00 megawatts, with nearly 365. 00 days of sunshine a year. Achieving maps, not unrealistic. The country aims to generate over 50 percent of its electricity from Renewable Energy sources by 2030 quite a twist, fished us down the dentist. I mean, tradition smith, im here in the l mensa hotel which has a very long and exciting history and how to have been abdel aziz is the face of modernity. Today. Shes responsible for helping develop a let cause in morocco. Because sustainability is an important topic and morocco 2 boys came up with 100 percent moroccan e car is still on the development. But the mechanical engineer, cow turban, abdel aziz seized the future in e mobility. Even frost kind of fan came mohammed. The 6th supports such campaigns, lawman, people think there are no electric chorus in morocco and that they wont be available until 2050 because its an african country. But thats just not true. Moroccans are acquainted with state of the technology. They like new technologies seen with counter been abdel aziz once affordable and environmentally friendly electric cars, everyone in morocco. But theres one little obstacle as in so many countries though yamaha. What about challenging stations . When challenged shell com. Ill see a single charging station here. Its not like in europe who oversaw 70, thats true. However, several companies have joined forces to build charging stations and morocco. The stations were installed in gas stations because on average, people spend almost an hour there resting or eating lunch. An electric car generally takes an hour to recharge. Once we have created the True Foundation for this ecosystem, the electric Vehicle Market will explode. Im really convinced of this along with many others working in this field. The quote. I like karen sees, yes am. Im returning to tangy as pulsating old town.
