March 22nd, 2017: Students from the School of Communication & Media Studies at Canadian University Dubai have taken part in two recent visits to experience different aspects of communications and to interact with professionals in the industry.
First on the agenda was a visit to the Sharjah Documents and Archives Authority, where the students discovered more about best practices in the field of archiving and documentation. They also took the opportunity to explore the advanced systems used to document the work of government departments and authorities in the Emirate of Sharjah.
His Excellency Salah Salem Al Mahmoud, Director General of the Authority, welcomed the student delegation, while Asmaa Nasser, Deputy Director of the Documentation and Archives Department, presented the work of the organization, and its role in assisting the government departments in documenting their work.
Next came the UAE Public Policy Forum where the students participated as delegates in the two-day event that was held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai.
The Forum brought together international speakers in policy debates and round table discussions to address the theme ‘Future Direction in Education Policy’. The students were able to witness the dialogue between experts and decision makers surrounding key issues, including education partnerships, standards, reform and technology.
Both visits were organized by Dr. Wided Dafri, Assistant Professor in the School of Communication & Media Studies.
