The promotion of the amazighe is a national responsibility, because no national culture can disavow its historical roots. It must, moreover, open and challenge any bulk-heading, so that it can carry out the development essential to the perenniality and the progress of any civilization. Thus, by discharging its missions of safeguard, promotion and reinforcement of the place of the culture amazighe in space educational, sociocultural and media national, the Royal Institute of the culture amazighe will give him fresh impulse as a national wealth and source of pride for all the Morrocans.
