ollowing Morocco's 1956 independence, the Toumliline monastery hosted the "International Gatherings," the first interfaith dialogues in the Global South. For 20 days each summer, global intellectuals from institutions like Harvard and Al-Azhar gathered in the Middle Atlas to build a peaceful world post-WWII. Lamia Radi emphasizes that this history is a "blueprint for living together" that must be preserved. By reviving the monastery’s library and chapel, the goal is to inspire today's youth to welcome diversity and perpetuate Morocco's unique model of coexistence.
