Ghouda Bajji

Everything starts at zero

1
The power of language
Words carry worlds
Arabic is more than a means of communication: it holds a people's history, faith, poetry and memory.
2
The weight of culture
Art keeps memory
Songs, films and books remember what institutions forget.
3
The need for dialogue
Build bridges, not walls
Understanding across languages and borders is where diplomacy begins.

Student of Arabic
& Reader of Worlds

I'm a third-year student of Arabic language, literature and civilisation in Toulouse, drawn to cinema, music and the politics of the Arab world.

Curious, organised and at home in several cultures: Arabic and Tamazight are my mother tongues, French and English my working languages, and I am learning Italian.

Before Toulouse I studied French law in Morocco, which taught me structure, rigour and how to build an argument. Today I read literature, films and songs closely — and ask what they say about the societies that made them.
