The Holistic Sustainable Development Network (HSDN), initiated by the MAEP students of Grenfell Campus of Memorial University, is extending its activities overseas to fulfill their internationalization aspects. Collaborating for sustainability is the prime aim of HSDN. Following this aim, HSDN jointly with Bancharampur Shikkha O Sanskritik Porisad organized a seminar on How youth can play role in the development of education and culture within society at the Commerce Faculty Conference Hall on 15 April, 2016. A number of national experts from the educational and cultural sectors gave speeches including the keynote speaker Mr. Asaduzzaman Nur, Honorable Minister, Ministry of Cultural Affairs, Peoples Republic of Bangladesh, Dr. Abdul Haq, Acting VC of Northern University of Bangladesh, Hasan Arif, Secretary General of Sommilito Sanskritik Jote, Aktaruzzaman, and Secretary General of Bangladesh Group Theatre Federation. The seminar was chaired by HSDN pioneer Jannatul Islam and moderated by Anower Hossain, the current president of Bancharampur Shikkha O Sanskritik Porisad. A total of 250 attendees from different sectors attended the seminar. The organizers are hoping to continue this type of activity in order to facilitate sustainability in the socio-economic and educational sectors of Bangladesh.
