We Came Together with Children in Şehzadebaşı for Palestine

On Saturday, September 19, we shared the joy of our children at the Aksa Heroes Children’s Festival, which we held at Şehzadebaşı Mosque.

Throughout the festival, which we organized to strengthen children’s connection with Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa Mosque and to help them learn about Palestine through age-appropriate activities, children and their families enjoyed spending time together across different activity areas.

The sounds of children, games, and colorful activities throughout the day brought a lively atmosphere to the festival area.

Games, Art and Technology Came Together

We set up various activity stations at the festival area to appeal to children with different interests.

At the Painting Stations, children expressed their imaginations through colors, while at the Game Stations, they enjoyed fun activities together. The VR Headset Stations offered children a different kind of experience.

At the Jerusalem Station, we provided content about Al-Aqsa Mosque and Jerusalem to help children learn more, while at the Palestine Support Stand, we carried out Palestine-themed activities.

In this way, we created an environment where children could learn new things about Jerusalem and Palestine while playing, creating, and exploring.

Making Room for Jerusalem in Children’s World

Throughout the festival, what mattered most to us was seeing children take part in the activities willingly and share their curiosity about Jerusalem.

Some enjoyed painting, some joined the games, while others experienced something new and simply enjoyed the day. Seeing the children’s interest, excitement, and happiness at every activity became unforgettable moments for us as well.

We believe that love for Palestine and Jerusalem is not something that is simply taught, but a bond that grows through the beautiful memories children create.

We sincerely thank everyone who joined us at the Aksa Heroes Children’s Festival and supported the realization of this beautiful day through their efforts and contributions.

The smiles on our children’s faces became the most precious memory of this beautiful day for us.
