Morocco.- Morocco<\/strong> is making waves in the global gaming scene<\/strong> as young talent gained unprecedented access to world-class gaming education, with the French Cr\u00e9ajeux Institute<\/strong> bringing its expertise straight to the city of Rabat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organised in partnership with the Ministry of Youth, Culture and Communication<\/strong> and the French Institute in Morocco at the Yaacoub El Mansour Youth Centre, the program gave aspiring game developers a unique opportunity<\/strong> to learn from one of France\u2019s top gaming schools without leaving the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organisers said: \u201cThe city of Rabat has witnessed a week of formation in the field of electronic games industry<\/strong> at Dar Al-Shabab Yaqoub Mansour, framed by the Cr\u00e9ajeux Institute, one of the most prominent formation institutes in the field of Gaming in France.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From September 1 to 7, participants immersed themselves in hands-on workshops<\/strong> covering game design<\/strong>, programming and emerging industry trends<\/strong>.

This initiative is part of Morocco\u2019s broader push to develop its gaming industry. The Video Game Creator program<\/strong>, launched earlier in 2025, offers a ten-month certification combining technical and creative training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Morocco is also investing in infrastructure, including the upcoming $26m Rabat Gaming City<\/strong>, which will feature training facilities, co-working spaces and full-scale production studios to support the sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By welcoming international experts to Morocco, the program shows how the country is supporting local gaming talent<\/strong>. With initiatives like this, Morocco\u2019s gaming scene is ready to make its mark on the world. <\/p>\n\n\n
