Social Work Program at the College of Arts and Sciences Participates in Qatar University's Booth at the Second World Summit for Social Development 2025, hosted by the State of Qatar in collaboration with the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA).
QU's participation came as part of its ongoing efforts to strengthen its role as a leading national institution dedicated to preparing qualified graduates capable of driving social development through student-centered education, applied research, and active community engagement.
Through its booth at the Solutions Square exhibition, the university showcased a selection of student projects from the College of Arts and Sciences. These projects demonstrated QU's commitment to addressing social issues and promoting innovation and social responsibility among its students.
The university emphasized that presenting student projects at this international event provided a valuable opportunity to highlight their creativity before a global audience—reinforcing QU's image as a center of knowledge and innovation serving both Qatari and international communities.
The Social Work Program from the College of Arts and Sciences participated in the exhibition by presenting field-based initiatives developed by students as part of the Development Initiatives course. This program remains the only academic track in Qatar dedicated to preparing social work professionals for family, educational, medical, and community fields in support of Qatar National Vision 2030. Students presented examples of their community-based projects carried out in collaboration with national institutions, which contributed to community development and promoted values of participation and social responsibility.
