Under the patronage of the Dean of the College of Veterinary Medicine Assistant Professor Dr Mohammed Asad Al-Kaabi, the Scientific Affairs Unit in cooperation with the Women’s Affairs Unit, organised an awareness seminar entitled:
“Choose your life … Say No to Drugs”
This is part of the college’s efforts to enhance community awareness of the dangers of drugs and address this scourge that threatens the entity of society and specifically targets the youth segment as it represents a direct threat to their present and future.
The Dean of the College started the seminar with a speech in which he emphasised the importance of the educational role of educational institutions especially in addressing the negative phenomena that are eating away at the body of society. He explained that the college pays great attention to intellectual and awareness-raising activities that will build an educated generation that has the ability to make responsible and conscious decisions.
The seminar dealt with several important topics, including
– Defining drugs and their common types
– The health, psychological and social effects of addiction
– Reasons leading to drug use
– The most important means of prevention and awareness.
The seminar witnessed great interaction from the college students, who showed great interest and engaged in meaningful discussions that enriched the atmosphere of the seminar and reflected a growing awareness of the need to address the phenomenon of addiction through awareness and knowledge.
At the end of the seminar, awareness brochures were distributed to promote a culture of prevention and strengthen the concept of “conscious refusal” as a responsible behaviour that expresses a real awareness of the harmful effects of drugs and their dire consequences.
This initiative reflects the College of Veterinary Medicine’s keenness to build a safe educational environment that nurtures students who possess intellectual and behavioral awareness capable of facing social challenges and actively contributing to building a future free from deviations and behavioral risks.
