What’s in store

This year, we pedal for a purpose. A purpose to celebrate life and calibrate its direction. A purpose to extend ourselves for our animal friends through the cyclothon for a cause.

 

Every push of the pedal, every ounce of effort, every drop of sweat is made meaningful by this collective higher purpose.

Field Goals to Higher Goals

This year, we are working towards a shared goal. To give a voice to those who cannot speak. To bring a breakthrough in animal care – Shrimad Rajchandra Animal Hospital (Jivamaitridham). Launching in 2024, this revolution in animal wellness will be spread over 40 acres, providing end-to-end treatment through a state-of-the-art animal hospital, animal shelter, experience centre, and a veterinary science college, with a combined capacity to house more than 5000 animals!

    Why should I come for the GYF 2022

    The youth today were born into a world of the internet. Exposed to an amount of information that is unheard of in human history.

    But information does not make a human, experience and empathy does.

    The Global Youth Festival offers that.

    It is the human experience condensed into a few days.

    The one you’ve missed since the pandemic.

    The one you get when you talk instead of typing.

    When you embrace instead of double-tapping.

    It is the empathy that emerges when you open yourself to yourself, without filters.

    • The CLICK of learning something that fits in your heart like a jigsaw piece.
    • The SIGH of contentment when your perspective shifts, slightly and effortlessly.
    • The HIGH of sharing this happiness with others.
    • The AWE of celebrating art and culture.
    • The RUSH of sports.

    It’s a festival of fully living the life you’ve been given. With a deeper takeaway of how you can direct yourself and take this life back home.
