On this occasion, the director of the Center for Artistic Studies, Literary Expressions and Audiovisual Production at the Royal Institute of Amazigh Culture, Ahmed El Menadi, said in a statement to the Amazigh portal, MAP, that the institute takes advantage of the International Poetry Day to honor a number of poets who have given a lot in the field of Amazigh poetry, and to encourage a number of Young energies interested in Amazigh poetry.
Mr. Al-Munadi recorded that Amazigh poetic creativity has witnessed a remarkable development compared to the nineties and the beginning of the millennium, highlighting in this regard the efforts made by the Institute to encourage male and female creators, as well as the Ministry of Culture within the framework of the Amazigh Poetic Creativity Prize.
