UPDATE: Documentation of Amazigh Heritage in Southern Tunisia

Following several successful workshops in Morocco held in September, ASOR teamed up with the civil society organization, Carthagina, to implement on a similar training event in the Tataouine governorate in the deep south of Tunisia. The training event (held from October 9-10, 2022) is part of a larger program which advocates for the ethnic and religious freedom of minorities through cultural heritage site documentation, protection, and outreach. The larger program is funded by the same anonymous donor as in Morocco. We selected Tataouine because it is home, together with Djerba, to the majority of the Amazigh Tunisians.
