Graphic Design Department: A Visit to Florentin Nursery to Present Illustrated Stories

On Thursday, April 24, 2025, second-year students from the Graphic Design Department at Cihan University – Erbil visited Florentin Nursery under the supervision of Assistant Lecturer Ms. Saja Abdulhadi. It followed the successful completion of a creative project in which the students wrote, illustrated, and designed original children’s storybooks. This visit was organized by the Graphic Design Department to present these stories directly to young children, providing students with the opportunity to evaluate the impact and effectiveness of their designs with a genuine target audience.

During the visit, the students engaged the children with lively and interactive storytelling sessions and read their stories aloud. The children responded with enthusiasm and curiosity, actively participating in related activities such as coloring and drawing inspired by the narratives.

Ms. Wafaa Namiq Majeed, the Manager of Florentin Nursery, warmly received the students and expressed appreciation for their visit. She complimented the creativity and dedication demonstrated by the students, highlighting the positive impact such initiatives have on the nursery’s young learners.

This hands-on experience offered the students valuable insights into the design process tailored to children’s content and enhanced their communication and presentation skills within a real-world environment.

The Graphic Design Department remains committed to supporting projects that effectively bridge academic knowledge with practical community engagement, fostering a comprehensive educational experience for its students.
