Under the patronage of Prof. Dr. Sherif Khater, President of Mansoura University, and the leadership of Prof. Dr. Mohamed Abdel Azim, Vice President for Community Service and Environmental Development, and under the supervision of Eng. Mohamed Taha El-Rashidi, First Undersecretary of the Dakahlia Directorate of Education, the General Administration of Environmental Projects—headed by Eng. Sherif Fawzy, General Director—organized an awareness seminar with the participation of Ms. Iman Aouni, Monitoring Officer, and Mr. Michael Naji, Media Officer at the Administration.
The event was held in cooperation with the Dakahlia Directorate of Education, represented by the Department of Activities and Services under the supervision of Dr. Hazem El-Alfy, General Director of Services, Dr. Gamila Massad, Director of the Activities Department, and Mr. Abdel Ghany Ghazi, General Supervisor of Social Education.

The seminar, held at Shajarat Al-Durr Preparatory School for Girls, coincided with the International Day for the Elimination of Violence, in the presence of Dr. Ahmed Yehia, General Director of the West Educational Administration, Dr. Hazem El-Alfy, and several directors from both the Directorate of Education and the West Administration.
The event was also attended by Ms. Azza Mohamed, the school principal, who warmly welcomed the guests.

During the seminar, Prof. Dr. El-Sayed El-Eisawy, Professor of Sports Psychology at the Faculty of Physical Education, Mansoura University, spoke about the phenomenon of violence. He explained that violence does not only mean physical harm or beating; it has many forms, such as domestic violence, psychological violence, physical violence, and verbal abuse—each of which can negatively affect individuals, families, and society.

Dr. El-Eisawy elaborated that domestic violence leaves deep psychological scars on children, making them feel fear and sadness long after the events have passed. Psychological and verbal violence, he added, are among the most dangerous forms, as they are invisible but deeply wound emotions and damage self-esteem. Physical violence, on the other hand, is the most evident and harmful because it causes both physical and emotional injury.

He also discussed the causes of violence, noting that they often begin within the family when dialogue is absent or harshness prevails, at school through bullying or excessive punishment, or in society due to unemployment and poverty.

Dr. El-Eisawy emphasized that combating violence is a shared responsibility. The solution begins at home and in schools by teaching children how to express their emotions calmly and respectfully, and how to control anger instead of resorting to aggression. He called for spreading a culture of tolerance, cooperation, and respect among students, stressing that love and mutual understanding are the foundations of a safe and happy society.

At the end of the visit, Eng. Sherif Fawzy extended his sincere thanks and appreciation to all attendees for their warm reception and excellent organization, reaffirming the importance of collaboration between students and teachers to achieve greater success and distinction.
