Rabat \u2013 The sixth session of the International Children\u2019s Summit Simulation for Jerusalem will begin tomorrow, Tuesday, in Rabat, bringing together children from 24 nationalities across the world. Among the participants are six Palestinian students, aged 11 to 16, from schools affiliated with the Directorate of Education in Jerusalem. The event forms part of an educational and humanitarian initiative that will run through May 14.
\nOrganized at the invitation of the Bayt Mal Al-Quds Asharif Agency (BMAQ), an institution affiliated with the Al-Quds Committee chaired by His Majesty King Mohammed VI, and supported by the Ministry of National Education, Preschool, and Sports, this session is held under the theme: \u201cFor Media That Upholds Justice for Palestinian Children.\u201d
\nThe event coincides with Rabat\u2019s designation as the Arab Media Capital for 2026 and simulates an international summit of Ministers of Information with the participation of children themselves.
\nThe session offers a rich and varied program, including educational visits to several departments of the Ministry of Youth, Culture, and Communication \u2013 Communication Sector, as well as to the Higher Institute of Information and Communication. Participants will also engage in artistic and educational workshops led by the creative team behind the \u201cHayya\u201d platform for children and youth, which promotes the values and cultural heritage of Jerusalem.
\nThis platform, launched by the Agency last year as part of its 2024\u20132027 digital strategy, includes animated series, interactive posters using augmented reality technology, an educational magazine, and puppets representing the characters \u201cHabbat Az-Zaytouna\u201d and \u201cAl-Miftah,\u201d symbols of peace and the right of return.

The closing ceremony will include the handover of the session\u2019s presidency, speeches by delegations, and the reading of the final communiqu\u00e9..
