Bangladesh YouthFest was officially launched by BBF on the 10th February, with the mission of ‘Inspiring the Nation’s Future’. YouthFest is a unique endeavor to inspire university students to prepare themselves for the global market. The event engaged students from seven divisions of the country.
The philosophy behind this fest is simple – students will get to learn from the experts and will be able to prove their talent in an idea based competition. Segmented into four parts, YouthFest comprises of Competition, Lecture Series, Career Talk, and Knowledge Hub.
