The program, met with great enthusiasm from hundreds of children, was supported not only by the Mavi Marmara Association but also by the Orphan Foundation, Umut Ol Association, Sefire-i Alem International Student Association, and the Initiative for Solidarity with Palestinian Women.

Children enjoyed various activities such as Ottoman paste-making, face painting, storytelling, jewelry design, cotton candy, popcorn, street games, drawing, and painting. They also had the opportunity to find answers to many questions they had about the Palestinian issue. This allowed them to have fun while also being educated about this important social issue.

At stations named after Palestinian cities set up at the festival, children learned about Palestine's cultural and historical heritage through different activities. Each station provided children with both entertainment and nourishment of Palestinian awareness. This meaningful day filled with games and activities left a lasting impression on the children's minds regarding Palestine.

Starting after the noon prayer at Sehzadebasi Mosque and ending in the evening, our Aqsa Heroes Children's Festival hosted colorful scenes, becoming a memorable and educational moment in the memories of both children and their families.
