In collaboration and consultation with the Iraqi Family Advisory Council, affiliated with the Arab Organization for Family and Social Development, US Meta Arees International University participated as the academic sponsor of the initiative to qualify and train 1,000 young men and women in marital life management—considered the largest and most significant initiative at both the Arab and international levels.
The trainees were honored during a distinguished graduation ceremony held at the Canadian University in Dubai, under the patronage of H.H. Sheikha Dr. Hind bint Abdulaziz Al Qasimi, and attended by prominent academic, training, developmental, and media figures and institutions.
At the opening of the ceremony, Dr. Monkez Al-Akkad, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of US Meta Arees International University, expressed the university’s pride and honor in sponsoring this important international event. He emphasized that the significance of the initiative is further enhanced by being hosted in the United Arab Emirates, which has designated 2026 as the “Year of the Family.”
In his speech, he highlighted that the family will always remain the most important foundation for human development and the cornerstone of human civilization.
He also expressed his appreciation for the attendance of Dr. Osama Ahmed Al-Mustafa, CEO of the university, who traveled from the United States to participate in the event, reflecting the university’s strong commitment to this impactful community initiative.
The graduation ceremony included a series of speeches and valuable discussions, during which sponsors, partners, trainers, and consultants were honored, and certificates were awarded to the graduating trainees in an atmosphere of enthusiasm, celebration, and high engagement.
On the sidelines of the ceremony, a cooperation and strategic partnership agreement was signed in the fields of training, education, and community development with the Iraqi Family Advisory Council and Madarij Leadership Training
