On May 31 and June 1, 2025, the Faculty of Administrative Sciences and Economics (FASE) at Tishk International University proudly organized the 9th Annual Clean & Love Kurdistan Campaign. The campaign continued its long-standing commitment to promoting environmental awareness and civic responsibility.

This year’s campaign was made possible through the collaboration of our generous sponsors: Alen Factory Company, BZ Group, and the Ministry of Municipality.

The event brought together more than 100 students, faculty members, and community volunteers. Participants actively engaged in a community cleanup drive, collecting a substantial amount of waste from the area near Erbil’s Martyrs’ Monument. Their dedication and teamwork were clearly visible as dozens of bags of litter were removed.

In addition, the campaign featured a tree planting activity. Students and faculty planted more than 100 young trees, sponsored by Alen Factory Company, at Laya School in Kawergosk. This activity fostered a stronger connection with nature and raised awareness about environmental stewardship.

Beyond physical activities, the campaign served as a platform to inspire lasting behavioral change. By witnessing the impact of littering and actively participating in its cleanup, students developed a deeper sense of environmental responsibility.

An appreciation ceremony was held at the conclusion of the campaign to recognize the efforts of all participants. Certificates of participation were distributed, reinforcing the university’s gratitude for their contributions.
