The initiative aims to foster awareness, provide solutions, and inspire a collective ethical revival among the people of Egypt.

It also seeks to rebuild a value system that reflects the nation's identity and heritage, Alazhary told reporters following a cabinet meeting on Wednesday.

He noted that following its official launch on Wednesday, the initiative's activities would include disseminating multimedia content throughout the nation.

Alazhary added that as part of the initiative, a one-year scheme will be carried out to build societal awareness grounded in sound religious and humanistic principles and shield individuals from misguided ideologies and destructive behaviours.
