The Women’s Affairs Division at Alnoor University organized a workshop on social media platforms.

The Women’s Affairs Division at the Presidency of Alnoor University organized a workshop titled (Social Media Platforms and Their Impact on the Individual and Society). The session was supervised and delivered by Professor Dr. Shahrazad Mohammed Shehab, Head of the Women’s Affairs Unit at the College of Education, on Saturday, January 18, 2025. The importance of social media lies in its role in increasing awareness of current events, while at the same time being one of the most important and dangerous tools influencing the culture and behaviors of society. Accordingly, a set of tips and recommendations were presented to help protect individuals from the risks of these platforms, including data protection, maintaining privacy, not believing everything that is said, avoiding sending money or passwords, protecting oneself from hackers, and seeking alternatives for spending time such as reading, walking, practicing hobbies and skills, socializing and going out with family and friends, traveling, drawing, handicrafts, and more. The event was attended by students and several faculty members from the university.
