In implementation of the curriculum prepared by the Dean's Office of the College of Law, the Department of Law—in cooperation with the Departments of University Psychological Guidance and Student Activities—held an educational seminar titled "Consolidating Good Citizenship Among University Students" at 10:00 AM on Sunday, November 30, 2025. The seminar featured the participation of:
-
Lecturer Dr. Younis Shuail Ajil – Chairman
-
Assistant Lecturer Kawthar Attia Lafulouf – Lecturer
-
Assistant Lecturer Riyam Lazam Abd – Rapporteur
The seminar addressed the theoretical and practical dimensions of good citizenship and its role in enhancing community stability and development. The participants focused on understanding citizenship as an integrated system of rights and duties that motivates individuals toward positive participation, respect for laws, and engagement in public service. The speakers emphasized that universities serve as a central environment for cultivating citizenship awareness among students by integrating its themes into curricula, providing volunteer and service activities, and creating a dialogue climate based on respecting differences and accepting others.
The seminar also discussed several challenges that may hinder the formation of a balanced awareness of citizenship, such as the spread of misinformation via social media, weak legal awareness, low levels of community participation, and academic pressures that may limit students' involvement in citizenship initiatives.
The seminar concluded with a number of recommendations, most notably: the necessity of developing specialized training programs on citizenship values; activating the role of university guidance in raising students' awareness of their rights and duties; promoting volunteer work; and building institutional partnerships between universities and governmental and community entities. The participants affirmed that consolidating good citizenship requires a joint effort among the university, the family, and society, and that investing in youth awareness forms the foundation for building a cohesive society better equipped to face contemporary transformations.
