In keeping with its role, the Sri Lanka Foundation (SLF), the centre for leadership, education and training, has successfully launched a program for the development of leadership skills in school children to empower O/L and A/L students with leadership qualities.

It is a one-day workshop focusing on experiential and action learning based leadership to enlighten and expand the knowledge of students to take initiatives at the early stage of their lives. The unique feature of this program is that they have an opportunity to share their experiences with parents in the evening on the same day with a parent-child interaction session.

SLF’s community reach focuses on multiple involvements in the community. Above all, this is a significant program through which communities could reach out to each other in the true sense. They are being trained to explore new avenues to contribute to their environment through their newly gained leadership qualities.

Since its launch at SLF, many schools come together as clusters and individual schools have also taken part in this experiential learning exercise at SLF premises in very large numbers. For parents, it is a memorable day in their lives.
