The Education Above All (EAA) Foundation has organized the event: "Walk for Education: Social Responsibility and Sustainability Exhibition", with the participation of thousands of families and children in the park of the Museum of Islamic Art, under the slogan "Contribute to Children's Education".

This community event, organized by the Education Above All (EAA) Foundation on Friday in celebration of the "International Day of Education", approved by the United Nations, highlights the importance of education as a basic right for children and its role in building a sustainable future.

All proceeds from the event will be allocated to support the Peace Schools, launched by the Education Above All (EAA) Foundation within the "Together" project, in partnership with the Ministry of Education and Higher Education, and with the support of local donors.

The event was characterized by a lively atmosphere that included various activities targeting all ages, from football tournaments that brought together school students, to art competitions, Arabic calligraphy workshops, bouncy castles, and live theater performances.

The event also witnessed the launch of the "Buy a Stone and Build a School" campaign, which provided participants with the opportunity to directly contribute to building Al Salam schools through donations.

The event included food and beverage stalls and entertainment shows, providing participants with a comprehensive and enjoyable experience.
