The Right to Participate in the Cultural Life (Article 27.2)
Participation in the cultural life forms an important part of the national life as the
cultural ingredients of the Sahrawi people reflect the African, Arab, tamazight and
Islamic identities, which gives them diversity and cohesion that make the very fabric of
the Sahrawi society so human and social. An identity that has always preserved its
diverse cultural peculiarities with openness to other cultures.

In this connection, the Sahrawi Ministry of Culture, through its cultural
programmes adopted culture as a space for Africa-Arab and Global Cooperation at all
cultural levels.

heritage, material and oral alike and the adoption of culture as a mechanism at the
service of liberation and construction. This identity has always been the crucible of the
resistance of the Sahrawi people throughout colonial history and foreign occupation.
