As part of its commitment to sustainability and climate education, Middle East University (MEU) organized a field visit for its students to Dibeen Forest Reserve to explore firsthand the challenges posed by climate change on Jordan’s forests. The visit aimed to enhance students’ understanding of environmental realities while inspiring innovative youth-driven solutions.

During the field trip, MEU students engaged with local communities and environmental experts to learn about the impacts of rising temperatures, water scarcity, and changing ecosystems on forest sustainability. The experience provided students with a unique opportunity to connect classroom knowledge with real-world challenges, reinforcing the role of youth in addressing climate and environmental issues.

Participants emphasized that such initiatives encourage them to think creatively about how technology, research, and community-based solutions can help mitigate climate impacts and support the protection of natural ecosystems in Jordan.

This visit reflects Middle East University’s ongoing dedication to sustainability, environmental awareness, and empowering students to become change-makers in advancing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). By linking education with practical experiences, MEU continues to strengthen its role as a leading institution for sustainability in Jordan.

In line with its commitment to sustainability and community engagement, Middle East University (MEU) students participated in an environmental cleanup initiative along the Dead Sea road, organized by the Ministry of Environment. The campaign aimed to raise awareness on environmental protection and promote volunteerism among Jordanian youth.

The initiative witnessed wide participation from MEU students, Ministry representatives, and volunteers from different community institutions. Together, they collected large amounts of plastic waste and litter across parts of the Dead Sea road, underscoring the importance of protecting Jordan’s natural and touristic areas.

A representative from the Ministry of Environment emphasized that these initiatives are part of the Ministry’s plan to strengthen partnerships with universities and civil society organizations, noting that involving youth is key to advancing environmental sustainability and achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Students from Middle East University expressed their pride in contributing to the campaign, highlighting that volunteer work is a core responsibility of university students and an essential role in preserving Jordan’s natural resources.

This initiative reflects MEU’s ongoing efforts to integrate sustainability, environmental awareness, and social responsibility into student life, reinforcing its position as a leading university in Jordan committed to sustainable development.

The Middle East University MEU participated in the second national campaign launched by the Ministry of Environment, under the slogan: “With our determination to protect our environment,” which comes as an activation of individual control and social responsibility towards the environment.

The Minister of Environment, Nabil Masarweh, stressed the importance of preserving the ecological system, as it is the first thing that tourists and expatriates look at, indicating that Jordan’s ranking is good for the countries of the world, and excellent for the countries of the region.

In turn, the Minister of Tourism and Antiquities, Nayef Al-Fayez, thanked the students of the Middle East University who participated in the campaign to clean Al-Mashta Palace and the road leading to Mount Nebo, stressing the ministry’s desire to support the university’s upcoming campaigns on an ongoing basis.

A team from the Volunteer Work Club, comprising students from different faculties of the university, painted the external sidewalks of the university, opposite Gate No. 3.

This paint campaign comes as the university’s voluntary programs concerned with engaging its students in extracurricular activities, focusing on building their personalities, and providing them with communication skills.

The campaign reinforces the supervisory responsibility of the students towards their university and society. The university believes that this kind of community activities are of great importance, no less than the importance of study lectures.
