National Youth Wellness Festival at BRACU on April 22-23

The Flow Fest, Bangladesh's premier wellness company, in partnership with Prime NOW, announces the National Youth Wellness Festival, with the theme -- 'You Be You: Find Your Flow'.
It is a two-day celebration of youth mental health, movement, creativity, and community, taking place at BRAC University's (BRACU) Multi Purpose Hall on April 22-23 at 10:00 am-2:00 pm. Participants can register themselves at theflowfest.com/youth.
The festival will bring together 1,000 voices from 10 universities across Bangladesh for an experience -- part wellness immersion, part creative expression, and part national conversation about what it means to be young and alive in Bangladesh right now, says a press release.
Across two days, the participants will explore yoga, meditation, art healing, music, and guided wellness workshops -- all designed to meet young people exactly where they are.
Bangladesh is in the middle of a mental health crisis. Young people are burnt out, disconnected, and carrying weight they are never taught to put down. They are performing fine on the outside while quietly falling apart on the inside, the release mentions.
The Flow Fest believes that healing does not happen in isolation - it happens when people come together, move together, breathe together, and tell the truth about how they are actually doing.
"We've built this festival, because our young people deserve a space to pause, reflect, and reconnect. It's a real experience -- where seeking help is courageous, not shameful," says founder Shazia Omar.
The festival also launches the National Youth Photography Contest with the theme -- 'Stop Hiding Your Feelings. Express. Share. Heal'.
Participants are invited to submit photographs that tell a story of healing, with submissions open until April 20.
Founded by author and wellness advocate Shazia Omar, The Flow Fest is Bangladesh's one of the leading wellness platforms -- built around four pillars: mindfulness, movement, creativity, and community. From yoga studio classes and corporate wellness programmes to large-scale wellness festivals and transformative retreats, it has spent years building the infrastructure for a healthier, more connected Bangladesh. The Youth Wellness Festival is its largest public initiative to date, the release adds.
