ActionAid Bangladesh (AAB) is set to celebrate the resilience of communities of Bangladesh and the country’s glorious heritage, culture, and traditions through a 2-days long festival, titled ‘Festival of Resilience: People, Planet and Possibilities,’ a press release said Tuesday.
Centering around the strength of Bangladesh’s people to strive and rise against all odds, the festival aims to encourage celebration and participation among communities in recognition of their stories of resilience.
The festival will take place on 09 and 10 June 2022; at the Dhaka’s “NCC” (Naveed’s Comedy Club) in Gulshan 2.
For decades, people of Bangladesh have faced countless challenges, such as, climate and human-induced disasters, inequalities, economic instability, refugee crisis and pandemic. But every time, the mass bounced back with the power of resilience and survived with a renewed vigor. Very recent example would be the last two years, during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, when the collective effort of the people of this country helped communities to stay hopeful and agile, despite all the uncertainties and despair.
This innate quality and resilience of people is worth celebrating and hence ActionAid Bangladesh is organizing this festival. Through a wide and immersive range of activities, the festival will help to celebrate the people, their strength, joy, and solidarity.
There will be exciting games, live story-telling sessions and different stalls as well, where different handicraft, boutique and food items can be purchased. On-site registration will be available on both days of the festival.
