The Psychological and Educational Counseling Unit, in cooperation with the Student Activities Unit, organized a workshop entitled "Helping People with Disabilities Psychologically: Towards a Happier and More Independent Life", which focused on the role of the university in empowering people with disabilities and promoting a more inclusive society.
The workshop highlighted the importance of the role of universities in supporting people with disabilities by providing a comprehensive educational environment that gives them equal opportunities for learning and active participation. Participants emphasized that the university is not just a place for academic education but rather an incubator for social change and a tool for enhancing community cohesion.
The workshop also addressed the importance of the role that students can play in supporting their peers with special needs by providing psychological and social support and promoting a spirit of cooperation. The efforts made by the teaching staff to ensure that the needs of these students are met, whether at the academic or psychological level, were also addressed.
In conclusion, participants emphasized the need to raise community awareness about the importance of including people with disabilities in various aspects of university life, emphasizing that these efforts contribute to building a more just and integrated society.
This activity was well received by the attendees, who praised the efforts made by the Psychological and Educational Counseling Unit and the Student Activities Unit to organize such workshops that contribute to promoting the concepts of support and equality.
