Smile for All Caravan in Béni Mellal-Khénifra: A 14th edition placed under the sign of awakening, creativity, and inclusion

Interactive approach The Smile for All Caravan is preparing to organise its 14th edition during the months of October and November 2026, with a cultural, educational, artistic, and recreational programme that will stop in several cities and communes of the provinces of Khouribga and Fquih Ben Salah, for the benefit of more than 4,000 girls and boys. This edition benefits from the support of the Ministry of Youth, Culture and Communication, Department of Culture, the Commune of Khouribga, and the OCP Group in Khouribga, as well as the partnership of the Regional Directorate of Culture of the Béni Mellal-Khénifra region. It also benefits from the contribution and support of several institutions and partners, within the framework of an institutional dynamic aimed at supporting cultural and educational initiatives dedicated to childhood and strengthening the presence of cultural action in the various territories. Placed under the theme "A conscious childhood... for an intelligent future", the caravan's programming includes artistic performances and educational animation activities, as well as games, competitions, creative workshops, and recreational activities. This interactive approach offers children a space allowing them to express themselves, participate, discover their talents, and develop their self-confidence. In the province of Khouribga, the stages of this edition will concern the cities of Khouribga, Oued Zem, and Boujniba, as well as the communes of Hettane, Bir Mezoui, Oulad Abdoun, and M’fassiss. The programme will also extend to several stages in the province of Fquih Ben Salah, thus allowing the circle of beneficiaries to be widened to urban, rural, and semi-urban environments. Particular attention will be paid to the participation of girls and the inclusion of children with disabilities. The caravan also intends to strengthen its presence in areas that have a greater need for cultural and recreational initiatives dedicated to childhood, thus consolidating its social and inclusive dimension. Artistic and educational activities will be offered on this occasion in order to transmit national values to children through simple and interactive approaches, combining learning, entertainment, and participation. The 14th edition is in line with the continuity of field experience accumulated by the caravan over thirteen editions, during which it has consolidated its presence in various spaces and establishments, making culture, art, and entertainment privileged vectors of communication with children, encouragement of creativity and participation, as well as promotion of the values of citizenship, belonging, and self-confidence. Through this new edition, the Smile for All Caravan intends to continue this dynamic thanks to a travelling programme that places the child at the heart of the initiative and makes each stage a space for meeting, learning, creativity, and celebration.
