The Partisan Activities Division, within the Deanship of Student Affairs, in cooperation with student clubs, organised the activities of the Second Community Giving Day. Participation in such events constitutes an integral component of the university’s strategic initiative aimed at fostering the values of volunteering and social responsibility among its student body. The university’s strategic vision is to achieve this objective through the active involvement of students in programmes and activities that serve the local community and cultivate the values of cooperation, giving, and humanitarian work.
The event was formally organised with the stated objective of establishing the concept of national belonging and social responsibility among students, as well as encouraging their active participation in volunteer and humanitarian activities. The initiative also focused on honing leadership, teamwork and communication skills, as well as introducing students to institutions working in the community and youth sectors, thereby expanding their field experience.
