Writing has always been Huwaida Ishaaq's passion and with her partner they created Heartwrite. After accepting any and most clients that came their way they decided to write their first ever children's book, and this was how the characters Nina and Kong Kong of their book, Qu'est-ce Qui Est Plus Grand?, became representations of hope and wisdom.

Le Garage 2067 est un accélérateur d'idées qui a pour but de faire émerger des startups.
Les objectifs sont une aide à la structuration, une lisibilité vis-à-vis de l'écosystème local et un réel accompagnement dans le processus de création d'entreprises.

Qu'est-ce vous ne voulez pas devenir?
BY BADR BOUSSABAT
@ VOL 7
ON OCT 27, 2018
"Qu'est-ce vous ne voulez pas devenir?" Je souhaiterai parler de mon expérience mais en l'englobant à quelque chose de plus général, plus perceptible par tous. Je souhaiterai parler du "projet de soi" qui ne doit jamais être comme celui des autres. La question n'est pas "ce que j'ai envie de faire" car elle limite les champs de possibilités, mais plutôt quels domaines m'intéressent.
