The University's Vice President for Administrative Affairs, Prof. Riad al-Moumani, patronized the graduation ceremony of the participants in the third session of the psychological and social support project implemented by the Refugees, Displaced Persons and Forced Migration Studies Center in partnership with the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ), for 12 Jordanian and Syrian trainees.

During his speech, al-Moumani stressed that Yarmouk University has been a distinguished leader in its scientific and academic career and has served the society and the humanity by supporting all activities with societal and humanitarian projects. He added that given the negative effects of wars, conflicts, and crises in the world, there is a need for the psychological and social support, whether at the level of individuals or family and community relationships as it strengthens personality and relieves the physical and emotional suffering.

Dr. Anas Al-Subh, the Director of the Refugees, Displaced Persons and Forced Migration Studies Center, said that despite the challenges posed by the Corona pandemic, the center worked within the framework of the psychological, social and trauma support project in Jordan of the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ) and completed the third phase of this program for 12 trainees of Jordanian and Syrian nationalities. He added that this course included four comprehensive units to cover the different aspects in the context of refugees and keep up with the development technologies.

Dr. Christine of the GIZ pointed to the importance of the psychological support for the individual and society, especially in these difficult circumstances of the coronavirus pandemic, which has had its economic impact on families and several psychological effects on children and mothers.

Hanan al-Nimrat, one of the participants in the project, thanked Yarmouk University and GIZ for participating in this training, stressing the event's importance in adding a lot of new skills on both the personal and professional levels. However, at the end of the ceremony, al-Moumani handed the certificates to the trainees participating in the project.
