Main Hoon Yuvaa: Open Heart Mic
Yuvaa × Games for Change India
Some stories deserve a room of their own.
Main Hoon Yuvaa is a warm, storytelling-led open heart mic where young people, gamers, creators and game enthusiasts can come together to share real stories about the role gaming has played in their lives.
It could be a funny incident, an unexpected friendship, a difficult moment a game helped you through, or a story about creativity, learning, empathy, emotional well-being or finding community.
Hosted by Janki and Shafeen from Yuvaa, the session will include stories, light activities and plenty of moments to connect. If you would like to speak, you will have up to five minutes to share. You do not need to prepare a performance or have the perfect words. Simply bring a story that feels meaningful to you.
Prefer to listen? You are just as welcome. Come for the stories, stay for the people and leave with a little more appreciation for what gaming can make possible
