Located in the northwest corner of Africa just south of Spain, Morocco is a diverse country with a long history and rich culture. Home to the indigenous Berber people for thousands of years, Morocco has been at the crossroads of empires throughout history: Rome, the Arab Islamic Empire, and European powers in the “Scramble for Africa.” Join Active Minds as we tell the story of the Kingdom of Morocco, including current issues and future challenges.

 

 

 

Active Minds started in 2002 as a series of poetry classes in a church basement in Denver. Before long, it grew to include other courses focusing on contemporary global issues, historical themes, and other matters of importance. The original audience was primarily senior citizens, but over time Active Minds has grown to serve adults of all ages through programming at book stores, libraries, and corporations. Today Active Minds provides programming to over 200 organizations and has over 30 highly qualified instructors on staff. John Henderson and Zane Robertson formed Active Minds out of a deeply felt belief that lifelong learning is central to a life well lived. We are inspired by members of our own families who embodied this spirit and dedicate this work to them.
