The Department of Cybersecurity Engineering Technologies at Al-Mustaqbal University, the leading private university in Iraq, organized on 4-5-2026 an awareness campaign titled “The Role of Parents in Educating and Protecting Children in the Digital World,” under the patronage of Prof. Dr. Hassan Shakir Majdi, President of the University, and in collaboration with the Women’s Affairs Division. The campaign took place during a visit by a kindergarten to the university campus, aiming to enhance digital awareness among both children and parents. The campaign included presenting simplified interactive stories for children, focusing on guiding them toward safe internet use practices, based on the principle that digital safety begins in childhood.

In addition, the campaign distributed educational brochures and guidelines for parents on how to deal with digital risks and protect children from cyber threats, contributing to the development of a digitally aware and safe generation. This initiative aligns with Sustainable Development Goal 4: Quality Education, reaffirming the role of Al-Mustaqbal University, the leading private university in Iraq, in supporting impactful educational and awareness programs.
