YOUTH-DAY
3-day virtual fest marking’ International Youth Day 2020′ begins
DHAKA, Sept 17, 2020 (BSS) – To celebrate ‘International Youth Day 2020’, Inspiring Bangladesh, the 1st Bangladeshi Social Network that promotes inspirational stories of Bangladeshis around the globe, in collaboration with Partnership Entrepreneurship and Skills Development Project by BIDA, is organizing a virtual three-day long youth skills development festival called ‘BEYOND 2020’ from today.
With the theme of “Youth Engagement for Global Action”, the three-day virtual festival, powered by Bangladesh Hi-Tech Park Authority (BHTPA) and supported by Bangladesh Investment Development Authority (BIDA), has consisted of 12 panel discussions on Youth Skills Development, Startup Ecosystem and Investment Opportunities, kicking off, where representatives from 10 countries are participating the discussion, said a press release.
The discussion sessions are highlighting the ways in which the engagement of young people at the local, national and global levels is enriching national and multilateral institutions and processes; as well as draw lessons on how their representation and engagement in formal institutional politics can be significantly enhanced.
With one out of six individuals from the younger demographic facing unemployment due to the unprecedented ongoing pandemic, it is essential to equip them with the skills to successfully manage evolving challenges and the resilience to adapt to future disruptions. The festival aims to do exactly that.
To take part in the festival and panel discussions anyone can register free from the Inspire Bangladesh website.
