YOUTH’10: Malaysia’s Largest Youth Festival

In 2008, over 21,000 youths gathered for a festival called YOUTH’08. It was crazy. We had over 100 activities, and in 3 days, hundred of youths were rewarded in the competitions they won.

In 2009, the same thing happened, but on a larger scale.

This time, the Festival took a leap up the scale. We got a larger place. Over 300 volunteers signed up to help out. Youths invited friends, who invited friends, who invited friends, and more communities, businesses, leaders and government agencies stepped in to show their support.

YOUTH’09 attracted 36,720 youths.

People ask. Why YOUTH’10?

The Festival was created for one purpose: to connect a generation of savvy youths with brands, leaders, government and the media.

When we first ran the Festival, we just wanted to create a platform where youths could come away from their computers, and hang out with each other. Meet friends, from other walks of life.

It turned out to be more than that. Some youths, with their talents & hard work, won numerous competitions and walked home richer. Young entrepreneurs were inspired by others, some even started their own businesses after that. Startups began to flourish after being in the attention of the media, and the government even adopted a couple of youth projects.

All these would not have been possible if not for the youths’ tenacious spirit & zestful appetite for great adventures.

But how do we make the best out of the youths’ potential?

It begins with the fundamentals: How youths engage with brands, leaders, government and society. The festival has proven – that with this level of collaboration, anything can happen.

As YOUTH’10 develops over the next couple of months, we are more than excited to share with you the itty gritty details of what’s to come – but for now, here’s a sneak preview of what you might get at the Festival:
