The Center for Educational Guidance and Psychological Care at the University of Basra organized an online symposium on educational and moral values inspired by the painful tragedy of Karbala.
The symposium addressed several themes, focusing on the values of courage, altruism, self-denial, steadfastness in the cause of truth, the promotion of virtue, the consolidation of the principle of sacrifice, the struggle of the self and desires, equality, and social justice. It also addressed the importance of the event in human thought and conscience, as well as medical advice related to practicing the ritual of walking towards the holy Karbala.
The symposium called for the inclusion of Husseini values in educational curricula to protect generations from contemporary intellectual and social challenges. It also called for the transformation of the Karbala tragedy from a mere annual event into a system of values for teaching young people how to be Husseini in thought and action.
