environmental responsibility, particularly regarding conservation practices. He
stressed that this is a societal responsibility that begins with individual
awareness and directly reflects the level of environmental consciousness. He
added that instilling these concepts in children from an early age is a
national duty. He also highlighted the objectives of the Environmental Week,
which include recycling, sustainability, tree planting, and energy conservation.
For her

align with the Egyptian state's commitment to achieving sustainable development
and preserving the environment. She explained that this initiative represents a
genuine call to adopt positive environmental behaviors, starting with the
individual and extending to the entire community, thus contributing to building
a conscious society that safeguards the nation's resources for future
generations.
During
the Environmental Week events, Prof. Assem El-Essawy inaugurated and toured an
exhibition entitled "Between Environmental Awareness and Creative
Touch," curated by Dr. Lamia Moustafa Sadek, Director of the Educational
Resources Unit. The exhibited works play a vital role in developing children's
artistic and motor skills.

children.
