The 14th edition of Caravane du Sourire pour Tous is set to take place in October and November 2026, covering several cities and communes in the provinces of Khouribga and Fquih Ben Salah. This year's theme, "Une enfance consciente… pour un avenir intelligent," aims to promote awareness, creativity, and inclusion among children. The event is supported by the Ministry of Youth, Culture, and Communication, the Culture Department, and other local partners.

The program features a range of activities, including artistic performances, educational workshops, games, contests, and creative sessions. This interactive approach provides children with a platform to express themselves, participate, and develop their talents and confidence. The event targets over 4,000 girls and boys, with a focus on promoting cultural and educational initiatives for children.

In the province of Khouribga, the caravan will visit cities such as Khouribga, Oued Zem, and Boujniba, as well as communes like Hettane, Bir Mezoui, Oulad Abdoun, and M’fassiss.
