The Commonwealth Games Association (CGA) of Sri Lanka, with the support of the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF), is set to host an orientation program for eqUIP interns in Sri Lanka from 1-4 April.
This initiative aims to equip young sports professionals with the necessary skills and knowledge to drive positive change in their respective countries.
The eqUIP internship program is a flagship initiative under the CGF, designed to develop young leaders from across the Commonwealth through hands-on experience in sports administration, governance, and development.
This year, the program brings together four interns from Bangladesh, the Maldives, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka for fostering regional collaboration and knowledge exchange.
The orientation program in Dambulla will be led by esteemed resource persons, including CGF Head of Programs and Investment Richard de Groen and Regional Development Manager – Oceania and Asia Olympian Melody Cooper.
The workshop aims to provide an enriching experience for both interns and supervisors by fostering personal development, enhancing transferable skills, and encouraging networking beyond comfort zones. It will serve as a platform for shared learning between interns and supervisors while also ensuring that clear objectives are set through the creation and updating of work plans. Additionally, the program will cultivate a collaborative team environment that embraces fun and enjoyment as integral elements of the learning process.
CGA Sri Lanka President Suresh Subramaniam said: “We are delighted to welcome the eqUIP interns and delegates to Sri Lanka. The CGA Sri Lanka is looking forward to engage in and enrich orientation programs during the next few days. This initiative is a testament to our commitment, nurturing the next generation of sports leaders in the Commonwealth.”
The CGA Sri Lanka encourages all participants to take full advantage of this unique learning experience and looks forward to the positive impact they will make in their respective nations.
