YUVADHARA YOUTH LITERATURE FESTIVAL 2025

The Power of Words, The Spirit of Resilience

Yuvadhara Youth Literature Festival is a celebration of words, stories, and ideas. This festival is a sanctuary for storytelling in its purest form. It invites us to write and speak of our histories, our struggles, and our dreams with courage and clarity. In a world where there are concerted efforts to erase the past, this is our moment to etch it into the present with bold strokes of understanding and creativity.

Celebration of Diversity.

Festival Director

The highlight of YLF Season 2, themed Gen Z – Time and World, is bringing together the younger generation, who are exploring the possibilities and complexities of technology, and experts from diverse fields who share their insights based on their experiences.

V K Sanoj

The literature festival deals with the most urgent politics of the moment. The first chapter of the literature festival was about celebrating the power and beauty of many while trying to reduce everything to one. As Yuvadhara Literature Festival opens another chapter with the concept of 'Gen-Z Time and World' addressing the minds of the latest age, it has become an important name in literary celebrations in different corners of the country.

V Vaseef

The literature festival organized by Yuvadhara at Fort Kochi is an unparalleled political exercise for the future. The tagline of this festival was 'Celebration of Diversity,' which was attended by around 300 people including artists, writers, media workers, and filmmakers. DYFI and Yuvadhara see this call to celebrate diversity as an extremely important political mission.

K J Maxi

Literary festivals give strength to the cultural progress of the society. There are many literature festivals going on today. But Yuvadhara Youth Literature Festival is unique in terms of content, organization and participation. Youth is fulfilling its cultural responsibility here. Indeed, it is a political movement, a cultural movement and a social movement.

യുവധാര യൂത്ത് ലിറ്ററേച്ചർ ഫെസ്റ്റിവൽ 2023 ഒരു തുടക്കമെന്ന നിലയിൽ ആഹ്ലാദകരമായ അനുഭവമായിരുന്നു. യൗവനത്തിൻ്റെ സംവാദസദസ്സുകൾ ഭാവി ഇരുണ്ടതാവുകയില്ല എന്നതിൻ്റെ സൂചനയായി കാണാൻ കഴിയേണ്ടതുണ്ട്. ഇത്തവണത്തെ ഫെസ്റ്റിവൽ കൂടുതൽ വൈവിധ്യവും സർഗ്ഗാത്മകതയും പുലരുന്ന യുവമേളയായിത്തീരട്ടെ. പ്രതിരോധമാണിത്. പ്രതീക്ഷയാണിത്.
