Every two years, in the summer time, it has been a gathering where youths demonstrate their talent in varied disciplines. It is simultaneously a give and take relationship which has been fostered among the youths.
Every youth could find some grand values to share and experiences to gain from Sawa’s festival. It is from this outlook that youths eagerly wait to be part of upcoming festival. In this festival, parents and other visitors get a chance to see what the potentials of the youths are and children get inspired of what the role model youths have accomplished and of the talents the youths have to offer them.
The major aim of the festival is to open a venue for mutual experience sharing among youths from different parts of the country and youths from abroad. The festival has also been a venue for awareness rising programs. It has also been a platform where youths identify their talents and display their work accomplishments every two years. This festival indeed is an occasion where unity, commitment, and hard working nature of youths have by far been nurtured and where the youths learn their culture and dig deep into it through the cultural shows staged there.
All in all, the primary objective of this festival is to increase youths’ awareness through the seminars and presentations of research papers and thereby ensure major participation of youths in the country’s development programs. Almost all programs of this year’s festival would mainly be focused on reflecting what contributions have the youths’ made in different sectors in the last 20 years.
