Under the patronage of Prof. Mohamed Diaa Zain El-Abedeen, President of Ain Shams University, Prof. Hanan Kamel, Dean of the Faculty of Arts, Prof. Mohamed Ibrahim, Vice Dean of the Faculty of Arts for Education and Student Affairs, and under the supervision of Prof. Maha Amara, Head of the English Language Department, and organized by Asst. Prof. Nadia Hashish, Program Coordinator and Course Professor. Graduation projects for the Class of 2021 were presented and discussed. This is the first large class to join the English Interdisciplinary Studies Program at the Department of English, at the Faculty of Arts, at Ain Shams University.

It's worth noting that for the first time, projects are linked to community issues in an effort to achieve sustainable development goals in the education sector. Therefore, the students' projects address, analyze, and apply three of the most important and pressing issues at the local and international levels: the environment, education, and health.

This is an unconventional initiative to link students' academic research projects to pressing societal issues, in line with university and faculty policy, in an effort to open new horizons for students as they enter the labor market.

The students' projects were characterized by modernity, innovation, and teamwork. Students were divided into sixteen groups, each of which selected its own research project, which was applied to various literary works, provided it was in one of the three aforementioned fields: education, health, and the environment.

The students' research projects were judged by a group of professors from the English Department at the Faculty of Arts, who commended the students' work. Prof. Hanan Kamel, Dean of the Faculty, and Prof. Mohamed Ibrahim, Vice Dean of the Faculty, also commended the distinguished participation of faculty staff in judging the projects and the organization of this event, which presented it in a proper and organized manner.
