With the solidarity and popularity of the Berber
culture within the last decade, a Berber TV channel
is Morocco’s next media project.
Over the last few years, the popularity of Berber
culture has been on the rise. From Berber-language
news and movies on the local RTM televesion station
to the introduction of Beber-language classses, and
most recently the Berber alphabet, in school
curricula Morocco has done a great deal in raising
national awareness of the country’s first
inhabitants’ language and culture.
The Ministry of Communication and the Royal Institute of Amazigh Culture (IRCAM) are planning to create ″a national TV channel exclusively in Amazigh″, hopefully in 2007. All of this ties in with the governement’s efforts in promoting the Berber or Amazigh language and culture in all forms of the media.
