Under the patronage and in the presence of the Governor of Babylon, Mr. Adnan Faihan Al-Dulaimi, Babylon Tourist Resort witnessed this evening the launch of the “Al-Mustaqbal Ambassadors for Sustainability” Camp, organized by Al-Mustaqbal University under the direct supervision of the President of Al-Mustaqbal University, Prof. Dr. Hasan Shaker Majdi. The event saw wide participation from the university’s vice presidents, college deans, government officials, faculty members, and students, in addition to a large public turnout from the Babylon community. The opening ceremony was also attended by the President of Alanya Alaaddin Keykubat University in Türkiye, along with his accompanying delegation, in a step that strengthens international academic relations and reinforces the university’s approach toward openness and scientific and cultural cooperation with regional and global counterparts. The first day of the camp, which runs for two days, began with the launch of a cycling marathon and a running marathon, followed by honoring the top winners. This was followed by the opening of the exhibition hall, which featured projects and innovations by students from various colleges and scientific departments, alongside active contributions from the university’s central departments. The day also included student product bazaars, diverse art exhibitions, and a fashion show presented by the Iraqi Fashion House, adding a distinctive cultural and aesthetic touch to the event. The “Future Ambassadors for Sustainability” Camp is considered a pioneering initiative—the first of its kind among Iraqi universities—through which Al-Mustaqbal University moves its academic and cultural activities beyond the university campus. This unique experience aims to break down barriers between the university and society, embodying a philosophy of openness and direct engagement with the local environment. The camp holds special significance as it combines practical education, active citizenship, and sustainable development. It serves as a platform for applying sustainability concepts in everyday life, encouraging students to practice creative thinking, teamwork, and innovative problem-solving. It also seeks to instill environmental and social responsibility values among young people and motivate them to contribute to building a more sustainable future for their country. The camp further focuses on youth empowerment and marketing their products and entrepreneurial projects by providing spaces for communication, presentation, and knowledge exchange. This contributes to building a generation of change ambassadors capable of translating development aspirations into practical initiatives that serve the community. Organizing this camp aligns with Al-Mustaqbal University’s vision to promote a culture of sustainability and social entrepreneurship, and to invest students’ energies in developmental projects that contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in harmony with the directions of the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research in supporting university activities with community and innovative impact.
