His Royal Highness Prince Faisal bin Al Hussein, Founder and Chairman of Generations for Peace, honored 5 students from the Faculty of Media at Zarqa University for their participation in the production of the film Olive Branch.

The film is the result of the “Filmy” training program launched by Generations for Peace in partnership with the Irish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Embassy of Ireland to Jordan in 2023, which provided comprehensive training in filmmaking for 20 young men and women from Jordan, Iraq, Palestine, Syria, and Sudan, who concluded it by producing their independent film.

The film, which was shown at the beginning of this September, featured: Raghad Jihad, Mohammed Al-Samadi, Lujain Samhan, Rand Saria, and Sultan Zuhair.

The film tells the story of the resilience of a family forced to flee their homeland and decide to leave the camp in search of a better life, as the events of the film take place in the suburbs of the capital, Amman.

In a related context, student Raghad Jihad participated in presenting the premiere of the film and her experience in participating in it in front of His Highness Prince Faisal bin Al Hussein and the Irish Ambassador to Jordan.

Dr. Amjad Safouri, Dean of the Faculty of Media, said that students' participation in training courses plays an important role in refining students' skills and providing them with the knowledge and practical experience necessary to succeed in this field.

"In addition to the theoretical knowledge that students receive in the faculty, training courses enable them to apply this knowledge on the ground and gain practical skills that cannot be obtained through theoretical study alone", He added.

He explained that the courses are organized by the faculty in cooperation with press and media institutions and community institutions are fully consistent with the university's vision of developing students' skills and qualifying them for the labor market.
