The dedication

Why this name

The structure is named after Mohamed Badrane, whose migratory journey and whose commitment to passing on language, culture, roots and the value of study formed the foundation of the AGAMI project.

It is the symbol of the transmission of knowledge between generations and of the importance of cultural roots in building the future.

“Knowing one's roots in order to build bridges between cultures, legal systems and generations.”

The Mohamed Badrane Prize

The Prize is ideally linked to the Mohamed Badrane Library and Archive, with which it shares the values of the transmission of knowledge between generations.
