Toumliline: Preserving the Moroccan "Know-How" to Live Together

February 26, 2026

Lamia Radi and her Memories for the Future Foundation work to preserve Morocco’s heritage of coexistence. A key example is Toumliline, a Benedictine monastery founded in 1952 near Azrou. Archives reveal a community of Christians, Muslims, and Jews living in harmony. By performing manual labor and learning Arabic and Amazigh, the monks earned the deep respect of locals. This "know-how" of living together serves as a historical blueprint that the foundation now transmits to the next generation in our digital age.
