A Journey to Self-Awareness
On Thursday the 2nd of November, 2023, students from the Department of Psychology, under the supervision of Dr. Rasha Abdulrahman, conducted the first visit to Al Shola Private School in Ajman as part of a scientific and educational initiative organized by the Department of Psychology at the College of Humanities and Sciences. The initiative aims to promote and develop self-awareness among high school students as well as introduce them to the field of psychology.
At the event, which was attended by 150 secondary school students as well as a variety of administrative and teaching staff, Dr. Rasha gave an introductory briefing before students gave a unique presentation on some key concepts for secondary school students. These concepts included the idea of adolescence and the changes that go along with it, the idea of self-awareness, and the significance of self-confidence and how to nurture it. The presentations included various activities and competitions that received high praise and active participation from the school's students and teachers.
It is worth noting that this event represents the department’s first step in the “Self-Awareness” project which will continue to include many secondary schools in Ajman and its surrounding areas.
