During the festival, at the weekend, discussions and panels were organized to mark the 11th anniversary of the Rojava Revolution and the Kurdistan freedom struggle as a whole.
Speakers said that this revolution led the peoples living in the Middle East to imagine and build a peaceful and democratic life despite all obstacles.
Since this festival coincided with the 100th anniversary of the Treaty of Lausanne, a panel titled "From Lausanne to Rojava" was organized.
The panel discussed the Lausanne Treaty's division of Kurdistan into four parts, the effects of the Treaty on the Kurdish genocide and the international colonial status of Kurdistan.
A photo exhibition explained the events during the Rojava Revolution and paid tribute to the international martyrs, halay dances were performed with live music and traditional dishes were served.
Many institutions and organizations such as Defend Kurdistan, RiseUpForRojava, Asyl Not, YXK, System Change not climate change, Jugendrat, Encommun, Young Struggle supported the Festival and opened their own stands.
Colombian artists Fernando López and Maren Rahmann gave concerts at the festival.
Another interesting event within the scope of the festival was the commemoration of the internationalists who fell as martyrs in the Rojava Revolution. The pictures of the martyrs were drawn on the pots and the name of a martyr was written on each pot. These flowers were placed in the martyrs’ corner of the association building.
Activists from FEYKOM, Defend Kurdistan, Kurdistan Students Union (YXK) and KPÖ gave seminars on democratic confederalism.
Activist Max Zirngast from the KPÖ gave a seminar on human rights violations and the Kurdish struggle in Turkey.
The Turkish state's invasion attacks against Rojava were condemned at the festival and demanded freedom for Kurdish People's Leader Abdullah Öcalan.
