The Flow Fest, Bangladesh's premier wellness company, in partnership with Prime NOW, announces the National Youth Wellness Festival — You Be You: Find Your Flow — a two-day celebration of youth mental health, movement, creativity, and community, taking place April 22–23, 2026 at Brac University's Multipurpose Hall.
The festival brings together 1,000 voices from 10 universities across Bangladesh for an experience unlike anything the country has seen part wellness immersion, part creative expression, part national conversation about what it means to be young and alive in Bangladesh right now.
Bangladesh is in the middle of a mental health crisis that nobody is talking about loudly enough.
Young people are burnt out, disconnected, and carrying weight they were never taught to put down.
They are performing fine on the outside while quietly falling apart on the inside.
The Flow Fest exists because healing doesn't happen in isolation it happens when people come together, move together, breathe together, and tell the truth about how they're actually doing.
"We built this festival because our young people deserve a space to pause, reflect, and reconnect," says founder Shazia Omar. "Not a seminar. Not a lecture. A real experience — where seeking help is courageous, not shameful."
Across two days, participants will explore yoga, meditation, art healing, music, and guided wellness workshops all designed to meet young people exactly where they are. No prior experience needed. No performance required. Just an open door and a willingness to show up.
The festival also launches the National Youth Photography Contest — Stop Hiding Your Feelings. Express. Share. Heal. open to university students across Bangladesh.
Participants are invited to submit photographs that tell a story of healing, with submissions open until April 20 at theflowfest.com/youth.
Founded by author and wellness advocate Shazia Omar, The Flow Fest is Bangladesh's leading wellness platform built around four pillars: mindfulness, movement, creativity, and community.
From yoga studio classes and corporate wellness programs to large-scale wellness festivals and transformative retreats, The Flow Fest has spent years building the infrastructure for a healthier, more connected Bangladesh.
The National Youth Wellness Festival is its largest public initiative to date.
