Leoism is a venue for the youth to grab opportunities to gain eye-opening experiences and awaken the leader within them. It also plays a major role in encouraging members to think creatively and to expose themselves to new challenges which the community faces at present.
As the Leo movement goes beyond the mere acronym, LEOs were able to turn this current pandemic situation into an advantage by developing a novel platform for fellow LEOs to unleash their hidden potential amidst the current pandemic situation in the country.
Thereby, project ‘Prathiraawa’ was executed by the Zone 02, Region 01 of Leo District 306 C1 as a Virtual Debate Competition under the topics related to Sustainable Development Goals by United Nations. They were able to conduct this novel initiative irrespective of the obstructions due to the pandemic.
The main objective of this project was to deliver an opportunity for the LEOs unleash their hidden potential as well as to develop critical thinking, boost confidence, remove the fear of speaking in public, improve self – expression and develop team bonding and collaboration among fellow LEOs. Moreover, to deliver the importance of the Sustainable Development Goals when conducting the service projects in Leoism.
Accordingly, eight teams comprising 40 participants took made their first step at the first round of the competition which was held on 5 December. This journey has become the cornerstone of many of the participants’ pathway to success, hence this competition was the initial step which was able to unleash their hidden potential in debating.
Thereby, the greater commitment and relentless efforts of two teams, ‘Dunamis’ and ‘Forward Motion,’ were able to drive towards securing their positions at the Grand Finale of ‘Prathirawa,’ held on 12 December via Zoom.
The event was attended by all Leo leaders of the Leo District 306 C1 along with the fellow Leos all over the country. The proceedings of the event began along with the Leo formalities.
It was followed by an ambitious word battle between the two teams and ‘Forward Motion’ was crowned as the champion of ‘Prathirawa 2020’. Thereafter, key recognition titles were distributed among the teams according to their performance throughout this enchanting journey.
‘Prathirawa 2020’ was able to reawaken Leoism by creating this novel initiative for LEOs irrespective of the pandemic situation.
