## Background and university partnership
The **Confucius Institute at Hassan II University of Casablanca** was founded in **January 2013** through cooperation between **Hassan II University** and **Shanghai International Studies University (SISU)**. It serves as a university-linked centre for Mandarin education and Chinese–Moroccan cultural exchange. The global Confucius Institute directory gives the venue's address at the **corner of Boulevard Abdelmoumen and Boulevard Ghandi, Annexe El Manfalouti, France Ville II**. This is **not the university's central administrative address on Rue Tarik Ibnou Ziad**.
## Language education and cultural activities
The institute teaches **Mandarin across different proficiency levels** to university students and other learners, alongside cultural workshops on **Chinese calligraphy, tea arts, martial arts, dance, singing and traditional instruments**. Academic collaboration covers Chinese–Arabic translation, comparative culture and regional studies, including the research-conference series **“At Both Ends of the Silk Road: China and Morocco.”** Recurring programmes include **Friends of the Confucius Institute** lectures, language contests and the **Ibn Battouta** series of Chinese-language public speaking, writing and artistic competitions.
## Verified events and programmes
Documented events in **2026** include a **13 June book donation of 100 titles and a Dragon Boat Festival activity** at **Anfa Cultural Centre**, demonstrating that some events take place off-site. The institute's **18–19 June academic-year examinations** involved **more than 380 learners in five levels**, according to its own communication. Hassan II University also announced **2026–2027 pre-registration**, with a deadline of **12 September 2026**; that deadline has passed and should not be shown as currently open. **Standard reception hours and a dedicated telephone number are unverified**. Visitors should check both eligibility and the venue listed for each programme.
