KATHMANDU: Glocal has announced the opening of application for the eighth edition of 'Wai Wai Glocal Teen Hero Nepal' for the year 2022. Glocal Teen Hero (GTH) is an initiation of Glocal, a business enterprise working in the areas of training, education, and skilling, that honours and elevates teenagers by allowing them to share their passion and creativity. It is a platform that recognises teenagers who are doing something beyond their academics and are active to create a positive effect on society. GTH was initiated in 2015 with the aim of recognising the incredible teenagers of Kathmandu valley, and later by 2016, it expanded throughout the nation in order to provide an amazing platform for all the teenagers. With the vision of extending its horizon to other South Asian countries, GTH was launched in India and then in Sri Lanka in 2019 and 2020 respectively.

Everything including the activation session, selection process and awarding ceremony will be done physically. The programme will be reaching out to 55 different cities of Nepal from East to West interacting with teenagers.
