Ain Shams University Organizes Awareness Campaigns in Schools to Promote Community Awareness and Foster a Culture of Responsible Social Media Use
As part of Ain Shams University's leading role in community service and its commitment to promoting awareness and knowledge among various segments of society, particularly raising awareness among children and young people about contemporary societal issues, the Community Service and Environmental Development Sector organized a series of awareness campaigns in several schools in cooperation with the Directorates of Education. Held under the patronage of Prof. Mohamed Diaa Zain El-Abedeen, President of Ain Shams University, these campaigns aimed to enhance students' awareness and develop a generation capable of responding positively and responsibly to the challenges of the modern era.
In this context, the Sector conducted an awareness visit to Modern School Sayed Galal International in El Shorouk City, where a distinguished group of university professors delivered a seminar highlighting the importance of the conscious and responsible use of social media. The seminar addressed the role of social media in disseminating knowledge, promoting positive values, and encouraging young people's engagement in societal issues, thereby supporting sustainable development efforts and preparing an informed generation capable of keeping pace with rapid developments and actively contributing to shaping the future.
The campaigns also included a visit to the Coptic Girls' School, where a seminar explored the concept of rumors, the main methods through which they spread, and mechanisms for verifying information and responding to misinformation responsibly. The seminar also introduced the concept of fourth-generation warfare, its objectives, methods, and strategies for countering it and mitigating its effects, thereby strengthening students' awareness of the intellectual and media-related challenges facing society.
These campaigns reflect Ain Shams University's commitment to utilizing its academic and scientific expertise to serve the community, strengthening communication with educational institutions, and contributing to raising awareness among younger generations while instilling the values of responsibility, belonging, and citizenship.
The campaigns were conducted under the supervision of Major General Hossam El-Sherbiny, Assistant Secretary-General of the University for Community Service and Environmental Development Affairs.
