BRAC, BRACU host youth programme

BRAC and BRAC University (BRACU) organised a youth engagement programme featuring activities including interactive talks, panel discussions, debates, and the showcase of youth-led initiatives at the university's Merul Badda campus recently.

The core objective of the initiative was to inspire the young generation to embrace leadership, innovation, and advocacy while creating new opportunities for personal and societal development, according to a press statement.

Around 250 students from different universities and educational institutions attended the day-long event titled "The Way" ("Agamir Poth" - The Path to the Future).

Asif Saleh, executive director of BRAC, stated, "Don't get boxed into what society tells you. Find your own way. You can make things happen as a change-maker, regardless of the profession you are in."

Professor Syed Ferhat Anwar, vice-chancellor of BRAC University, answered questions from the audience and reflected that true fulfilment lies in giving, which becomes possible when individuals identify gaps and innovate to address them.
