“The NEXT” a project organized by the Professional Development Avenues of Rotaract Club of the University of Sri Jayewardenepura and Rotaract Club of Colombo Central to identify and enhance leadership abilities among the young individuals.
As the first step, we organized a creative write-up competition to reveal young individual’s proud leadership moments to share among fellow individuals. Best three articles were selected based on the fair evaluation criteria. Ms. Niroshini Nugawela, the Program Support Officer at OHCHR, evaluated the articles on behalf of both the clubs. Out of many submissions, she recognized the top three articles of the participants.
The second phase was the most interesting event of the project. It was an online discussion platform on the theme of “NEXTGen Leaders”. Facilitators for the day were Mr. Fahaad Farook who is a Certified Transformative Coach and Trainer in both National and international platforms and Mr. Shehan Ambepitiya, Former fastest man in South Asia and the Former Sri Lankan Athletic Team Captain. This one-hour session on Leadership was quite interesting and interactive for the participants. Participants actively engaged in asking questions from the facilitators. The second phase of “The NEXT” concluded successfully with many positive feedbacks from the audience.
The final phase of the project was publishing an e-book including all the write-ups we received in the first phase. Afterwards, the E-book was distributed among the other Rotaract Clubs in Sri Lanka. E-certificates were distributed for the winners of the write-up competition. And a concluding video to commemorate the event was published on social media platforms.
