As part of intellectual awareness efforts and the promotion of social security, the Sustainability Ambassadors in the Biochemistry Department organized an awareness campaign on the dangers of ideological extremism leading to terrorism. The campaign included the distribution of educational brochures highlighting the risks of extremist ideologies and their negative effects on individuals and society.
This campaign aims to raise awareness among students and university members about the serious consequences of ideological extremism, its role in threatening social peace, and the importance of fostering a culture of dialogue, tolerance, and acceptance of others. It also seeks to educate young people about the dangers of being drawn into extremist ideologies and the necessity of adopting a moderate mindset to achieve stability and development.
This initiative aligns with the department’s commitment to supporting awareness activities that contribute to building a university environment based on moderation and tolerance, in accordance with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly:
• Goal 4: Quality Education, by spreading knowledge and raising awareness about the importance of critical thinking and combating ignorance.
• Goal 10: Reduced Inequalities, by promoting a culture of understanding and tolerance among different segments of society.
• Goal 16: Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions, by reinforcing the values of peace and rejecting violence and extremism.
This campaign reaffirms the department’s dedication to promoting a culture of sustainability and spreading values of moderation and tolerance within the university community.
