On May 9th, at the invitation of the Moroccan Minister of Youth, Culture, and Communication, Mohamed Mehdi Bensaid, our president, Claude Garrandes, attended the International Book Fair (SIEL) in Rabat, the 2026 World Book Capital, held under the High Patronage of His Majesty King Mohammed VI.

He also represented the Antoine de Saint-Exupéry Youth Foundation, where he gave a lecture entitled "A Relief Edition of The Little Prince — Seeing with the Heart, Touching the Invisible." This lecture was followed by a Q&A session with the large audience and a live interview broadcasted on Moroccan national television, SNRT.

Thank you to Ms. Ghyslaine Derrous, Director of Books, Libraries, and Archives at the Ministry of Culture and Commissioner of SIEL 2026. It was a day filled with enriching encounters and constructive exchanges for a more inclusive future.
