Meeting my fellows in the program was also very important for me.»Taoufiq Boufertih, a journalist from the Moroccan newspaper Hespress, added:»With its rich and diverse program, this fellowship is an opportunity for all participating journalists to get acquainted with the media experience of Russian news agencies and correct many stereotypes that are being promoted about this European country. For me, as a Moroccan journalist, my participation in this fellowship will not only enable me to build new human relationships with fellow journalists from different countries and with the organizers, whom I thank for their tireless work to facilitate our travel and stay, but also an important opportunity to get acquainted with the ancient Russian culture, explore the secrets of Russia’s success in organizing the 2018 World Cup, especially the urban transport system in Moscow, which I personally admired, and I think it can be an inspiring model for Morocco which is preparing to organize this global football event in 2030.»
