Sharjah 24: Al Qasimia University (AQU), represented by the Deanship of Student Affairs, organised a specialised workshop entitled “Recycling Spare Parts and Tyres” in collaboration with the Transportation Department of Sharjah Municipality.

The event formed part of the university’s purposeful summer activities programme held during the holiday period and aligned with its commitment to raising environmental awareness among students and promoting a culture of sustainability and social responsibility.

Practical Knowledge for Sustainable Development

The workshop held, on Monday, reflects AQU’s strategy of linking theoretical knowledge with practical application and preparing students to be active contributors to their communities. It also supports their ability to help realise the sustainable development goals adopted by the Emirate of Sharjah, in line with the vision of His Highness Sheikh Dr Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, and Founder of Al Qasimia University (AQU).

Engaging Students from Across Disciplines

The workshop targeted students from various academic disciplines and witnessed notable attendance and engagement. Specialists from Sharjah Municipality highlighted the importance of recycling in reducing the environmental impact of industrial waste, proper methods for processing worn tyres and damaged spare parts, and the negative consequences of their improper disposal.

Showcasing Municipal Initiatives

Participants were also introduced to real-life examples of initiatives undertaken by Sharjah Municipality in this area, reflecting its commitment to sustainable environmental standards.

Fostering Awareness and Responsibility

The Deanship of Student Affairs is keen to organise educational and awareness programmes that make constructive use of students’ time during the summer, enhancing their knowledge, developing their skills, and instilling a sense of responsibility towards the environment and society. All this takes place within a holistic academic environment that upholds the values of belonging, teamwork, and responsible thinking.

Student Feedback and Impact

Students praised the workshop's content and the quality of information provided, affirming the importance of such initiatives in broadening their horizons and strengthening their environmental responsibility.
