We were honored to have distinguished guests including Ulrich Klepmann (German Embassy Dhaka), Md. Abdul Quayyum (UNDP Bangladesh), and Dr. Hasib Irfanullah (ULAB), along with speakers and facilitators from leading development organizations.

During the symposium, Ulrich Klepmann encouraged young people to believe in themselves and become the change-makers of the future, while Md. Abdul Quayyum highlighted that failures are part of the journey toward success and inspired youth to stay committed to their aspirations.

In the career session, Sumaiya Binte Selim Sudha emphasized the importance of passion in the development sector, and Shah Rafayat Chowdhury spoke about trust, dedication, and perseverance as the key qualities for success.

The symposium also honored three inspiring young individuals with the “Youth Excellence Award” in recognition of their contributions to climate justice, community development, and youth empowerment.

We sincerely thank all speakers, collaborators, volunteers, participants, and organizers for making this symposium successful and impactful. Together, we believe youth leadership can create a more sustainable and inclusive future. 💚
