The YRE team is excited to see the launch of the YRE Programme in Bangladesh on the 31st of August 2023. The Probha Aurora, a youth-focused social enterprise in Bangladesh, is taking another significant step towards promoting sustainability and environmental responsibility in Bangladesh.

The launch of the programme in the country was a blend of physical and virtual participation, uniting esteemed dignitaries, stakeholders, students, parents, and teachers. The presence of Dr. Susan Vize, Officer-in-Charge of UNESCO, Daniel Schaffer, CEO of FEE, and Pramod Kumar Sharma, Senior Director – Education, FEE underscored the program's global significance. Bidhan Chandra Pal, the Founder and Managing Director of Probha Aurora, shared his vision of making Bangladesh an exemplary country in terms of environmental and climate consciousness.

YRE isn't journalism for the sake of reporting; it's journalism with a mission—to drive youth leadership in environmental solutions.

This event marked a significant milestone on the path to a sustainable, environment-friendly, and climate-conscious future for Bangladesh, one where education is the key to change, and the youth are the torchbearers. The YRE team is very happy to welcome Bangladesh to our global network.
