The program was organized by the Ministry of Education and Higher Education through its Counseling, Guidance, and Student Affairs Unit, in partnership with the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), under the patronage and participation of Prof. Amjad Barham, Minister of Education and Higher Education.
The University's participation was coordinated through the Deanship of Student Affairs, the Faculty of Allied Medical Professions, and the Student Union Council. A total of 24 PTUK students took part in the program across two training phases. The first phase included 17 students from various academic disciplines, while the second phase involved seven students from the Faculty of Allied Medical Professions.
The ceremony was attended by Dr. Basri Saleh, Deputy Minister for Higher Education; Dr. Shadi Al-Hilu, Assistant Deputy Minister for Planning and Development; Ms. Sima Alami, Adolescent and Youth Programme Officer at UNFPA Palestine; Mr. Ayman Houdali, Head of the Counseling, Guidance, and Student Affairs Unit at the Ministry; and Mr. Omar Al-Sheikh, Director of External Relations at Atlas Training Foundation, in addition to representatives from higher education institutions and the Palestinian Medical Relief Society.
The program targeted approximately 220 students from Palestinian universities and featured a series of specialized training workshops in first aid, Basic Life Support (BLS), psychosocial support, and reproductive health. The initiative aimed to prepare young leaders capable of responding effectively to emergencies while strengthening their readiness to serve their communities.
Mr. Bilal Al-Sheikh Ali, Head of the Student Activities Department at the Deanship of Student Affairs, emphasized the University's commitment to empowering students with leadership and practical skills that enhance their ability to contribute to society.

For his part, Prof. Amjad Barham highlighted the importance of these programs in developing students’ competencies and preparing them to meet national priorities and community needs. Partner organizations also stressed the value of expanding the initiative to reach larger numbers of students and enabling participants to transfer the knowledge and skills they acquired to their peers across Palestinian universities.
