“The field of culture and art is an arena of struggle between truth and falsehood throughout the ages, and the expression has been true that art is a sublime message. These days, when we are in an age of distractions and rumors, we are in need of purposeful art that elevates the human being, refines his conscience, and raises awareness of his youth, who are the pillar and hope of this nation.” And its bright future, and instils patriotism and belonging in their hearts, and urges them to exercise their minds in everything, and not to submit and surrender to any person or any group or misguided group that incites them to leave their homelands, to declare infidels in their societies, and to disbelieve their scholars, and urges them not to be strict and extremist in dealing with their families and friends. Or offend any of them. Resisting extremism and terrorism is not only security and military, as some believe. Rather, destructive ideas must also be confronted in parallel through thought and enlightenment. Therefore, purposeful art of all kinds is capable of being a powerful intellectual weapon that can confront extremism by deepening the culture of peace. And dialogue within societies, and rooting and strengthening the sense of belonging, humanity, and love of homeland among individuals, curbing violence, terrorism, and brutality, and elevating the human spirit and returning it to its purity, purity, and nature that God created it with, so that we can ultimately create a sound and intellectually balanced citizen who can distinguish between truth and falsehood and the harmful. And the beneficial and the good and the bad.”

For his part, Prof. Dr. Walid El-Shenawy said:

“This technical activity that we are carrying out today is within the framework of the activities of the National Security Committee at the level of Mansoura University. It is worth noting that the committee held many sessions, and a consensus was reached to present the activities within the framework of moving away from the traditional form through seminars based on direct advice, because it turned out that Direct advice does not show any benefit, and therefore the type of activities and events carried out by the committee: visits, art exhibitions...etc. Art has a major role in our contemporary world in terms of refining the personality. It is impossible to find a lover of music or singing...etc., hence art. It purifies people of negativity. Art is also a cultural façade, the extent of sophistication, and the progress of society.”

The talk was continued by Prof. Dr. Mohamed Abdel Azim, praising the efforts, activities and activities of the committee in addition to the fact that “art is a message. Each of us has rights and duties. We must not be satisfied with the courage of a lion, but use the intelligence of a wolf. Success is impossible to create from randomness, so intelligence must be done.” And the will to take steps in advance of it.”
