The seminar, titled “Promoting National Values and a Sense of Belonging among Youth in Light of Political, Economic, and Social Developments,” commenced with the national anthem and a recitation from the Holy Qur'an by student Mohamed Emad Mohamed Mohamed from the third year of the Department of Tourism Studies.
The speakers included:

The seminar was attended by Prof Mohamed Abdel Fattah Zohry, Vice Dean for Education and Student Affairs, as well as numerous faculty members, academic staff from all scientific departments, heads of administrative sections, representatives of the administrative body, and a large turnout of undergraduate and postgraduate students.

The discussions highlighted the distinction between citizenship and belonging, emphasising that the supremacy of the rule of law is a fundamental pillar without which proper citizenship cannot exist. The speakers underscored that national interest and development must take precedence above all else, and that the law is the real guarantor for societal development, stability, and the dissemination of security and justice. It also plays a key role in boosting the efficiency and progress of work.
Students were urged to love their country, protect its resources, counter those who threaten its security and stability, and resist the spread of rumours, especially digital misinformation. The seminar called on students to contribute to nation-building across various fields, instil confidence and optimism within themselves and the university community, and equip themselves with knowledge to confront present challenges.
