Sāni` صَانِع – Leatherwork: The Gesture That Tells a Story

Winding through the medina’s maze-like alleys, Narjes Ben Abdelghani and Mohamed Laabidi lead children on a journey through memory and material. Combining ancestral leathercraft techniques and contemporary design, this workshop teaches the act of making with both hands and heart.

The children learn the skills of a leather artisan — cutting, folding, engraving — to shape original pieces. Each gesture becomes a sentence in a shared story: one of reinvented tradition, rooted in place and material.

Sourour Tissaoui, a specialist in early childhood music, opens the doors to the world of sound. Each day, the children explore music, play with their breath, invent body percussion, and sing together.

A gesture sparks a note. A voice creates rhythm. Play becomes expression.

Maxime Naudet turns Dar Bach Hamba into a lab of image and sound.

Inspired by Sentiers’ approach, the pedagogy here is participatory and liberating. Each child becomes the author of a shared and intimate story.

Hip-Hop with Intissar Bel Haj Khalifa (Ages 6–12)

A passionate dancer and finalist of the Juste Debout international battle, Intissar finds her favorite stage in children’s bright eyes.

Five days of fun choreographies, improvisation, and encouragement help each child discover their own way to dance, stand, and shine.

Hip-hop becomes a joyful, respectful, and empowering language.

Dancing with the Moms – with Chaïma Ouni

What if moms danced too?

Choreographer and fitness coach Chaïma Ouni combines fitness, folk dance, and the strength of community in this special workshop for mothers.

There’s no performance here — just a space to breathe, reconnect, and move.

Through gentle sessions, bodies loosen, smiles appear, and gestures flow.

A choreography of everyday life, showing that art begins where we take time for ourselves.

Film Critique with Sentiers – Hajer Bouden & Insaf Machta (Ages 13–18)

In a dark room at Dar Bach Hamba, teens watch a film — but not just to watch. They think, question, and write.

Led by passionate film critics Hajer Bouden and Insaf Machta, the workshop teaches them to read images, listen to silence, and express their thoughts.

Cinema becomes a space for debate and creativity. Every perspective matters.

The youth become critics, storytellers, and thinkers.

Filmmaking with Sentiers – Josua Hotz (Ages 13–18)
