L'VEGANISM

L’veganism is considered to be the very first Moroccan web content to shed light on vegan culture in a very understandable way for everyone. The language chosen is the Moroccan darija (dialect), followed by english and french subtitles. Its objective is to share the culture of veganism without stereotypes as well as creating debates amongst youth about the subject. The production does not include vegans only, yet it welcomes everyone interested in vegan culture as well

THE GREEN PODCAST

The Green Podcast is a group of dialogues with vegan and environmental activists within which activists tell about their own path towards veganism, their experiences and stories with their societies, without forgetting to provide the newcomers interested in veganism useful and valuable pieces in different fields, such as health, environment, sport, etc.
