Iraq Burin Mixed Secondary School witnessed the implementation of a field-based agricultural and environmental activity, organized by the CSC in partnership with the Directorate of Education in Nablus. This activity was part of the agricultural environmental campaign implemented by the CSC, which aims to spread environmental awareness and promote the principles of sustainable development.

The activity was divided into two main parts. The first focused on improving the school environment and strengthening students’ sense of belonging and responsibility. Participating students cleaned the school’s back garden and removed waste, reflecting a clear commitment to cleanliness and the preservation of public property.

The second part focused on expanding green spaces. Participants and students planted 52 trees, including 30 olive trees and 22 forest trees, in a practical demonstration of collective volunteer work and the important role of youth in environmental protection.

The activity was attended by Mr. Ahmed Sawalha, Director of the Directorate of Education, several staff members from the Directorate, Mr. Alaa Abu Dhahir, Director of the CSC, in addition to members of the school’s teaching staff and students. This participation reflected strong cooperation and integration between educational and community institutions.

This activity falls within a broader campaign to protect the environment and increase green spaces in schools and public facilities, particularly in marginalized areas. The village of Iraq Burin is one such area, facing limited services, with a population of approximately 1,300 and only one coeducational school.

This campaign aligns with An-Najah National University’s goals of building a generation that is environmentally aware, capable of preserving natural resources, and committed to creating a greener and more sustainable future. The agricultural campaign will continue in the next phase to include public gardens, lands, and uncultivated government institutions.
