IGAMD– The Institute for Global Arab Media and Democracy is an independent, non-governmental organization based in Chicago, USA, which supports and inspires projects with an interdisciplinary approach to study, understand and promote the development of democratic values, free and democratic media, and the role and impact of the media, culture and the arts in Morocco and the Middle East and North Africa more generally . Its activities cover three important areas: media, democracy, and culture.
IGMD will seek to accomplish its mission through a variety of media, cultural, artistic, educational programs, as well as civic involvement initiatives, particularly among the youth and women. We firmly believe that young people and women deserve more space and guidance to be active participants in the processes of media creation, cultural policy-making and exchange, and in the experience of substantive democracy and global citizenship.
