Youth Policy Forum - YPF

Youth Policy Forum (YPF) is a platform for young Bangladeshis to talk and learn about various policies, political, social, and economic issues that occur in the country and around the world. This was created with the aim of getting the youth interested in policies and creating an intellectual pool of people who are able to discuss, criticize, and provide alternatives to various policies being undertaken. This platform is open for everyone, we invite people from diverse backgrounds and ideologies as long as we are respectful to ideas different from ours. There is a dedicated team working behind YPF. This team is involved in approving the posts, facilitating discussions, planning for events, taking interviews, and uploading content that is generated by the team. The team comprises both students and professionals who volunteer their time and effort for YPF. We value open discussions, respect for different ideologies, respect for humanity, and an open mind for gathering knowledge.
