The participants are about 120 students from Baghdad, Babylon, Diwaniyah and Basra. The courses will last for five days and include educational lectures about heritage of Ahl a-Bait (Peace be upon them) and their beliefs for the purpose of educating them and immunizing them towards the corrupt currents of doctrines and trends.
