The importance of this achievement is highlighted by the broad international level of the initiative, which attracted 745 youth participants from 98 countries, and was linked to more than 120 UNESCO Biosphere Reserves around the world, within an international experience that brought together youth, visual storytelling, technology, and issues of humans and nature.
Al-Harbawi's arrival at the final stage came after a comprehensive process of preparation and follow-up at the College of Architecture and Design, starting with the organization of introductory and specialized workshops for the college's students about the initiative and its requirements, identifying students interested in participating, organizing a field visit to the Dana Biosphere Reserve to develop visual experiments and ideas, alongside following up on student work, completing application procedures, and archiving submissions electronically.
After Al-Harbawi was selected to participate in the international stage, the college and the university continued their academic and organizational follow-up during the participation stages, leading to the development of the final project with which she competed, and through which she secured second place globally, despite being one of the youngest competitors.
This achievement reflects Amman Ahliyya University's approach towards supporting its students and enabling them to reach international platforms, linking academic education with experience, practice, and global competition, in addition to enhancing the presence of students in the fields of design, digital media, and visual storytelling related to contemporary human and environmental issues.
The achievement also confirms the importance of discovering student talents, qualifying them, and following them systematically, which contributes to turning participation in international initiatives into academic and practical experiences that enhance students' capabilities and support the university's presence in regional and international forums.
