Friday Night’21

The project Friday Night has been persevered by Leo club of university of Kelaniya under the Project category of Differently Abled Avenue in the leostic year 2020/21. It was held on the 15th & 22nd October, 2021. “Friday Night” was a project organized for the Betterment of Leoism. The Friday Night project was mainly focused on entertainment and identifying the potential skills of our Leos and how they could use it for their Leo journey. Friday Night consisted of 3 main events. They were Live On Mic events, Talent Show, and Celebrity Time. The project was done via the zoom technology and was aired simultaneously on the University of Kelaniya Leo Club's official YouTube channel and official Facebook page. Overall, our initiative was highly successful, and we believe that the impact we made upon our delegates was immensely visible from the optimistic feedback we received from more than 1000 delegates and our Guest Artists who added glamour to our event.

AGLEERO 2021

AGLEERO 2021 was an awareness programme on LGBTQI+ Community and the identity, recognition and the proper place for them in the society. This program was in the aim to provide a platform for an active discussion on a topic which is not discussed widely but essential to be revealed in our society. Apart from forming a platform to give recognition to the LGBTQI+ community, we expect positive alteration of the vivid mindsets of the younger generation which will create an impact on our youth development as well. With the use of new technology, flyers, videos and the innovative idea of popup videos, we were able to spread positive vibes for our project as well as regarding the LGBTQI+ concept. Moreover, we arranged a cheerful, lively and informative session with two expert activists and motivational speakers on LGBTQI+ Community. Furthermore, we invited a popular artist to create an entertaining atmosphere during the event in order to relax the minds of the delegates

HEAL THE SOUL

HEAL THE SOUL was an initiative taken by the Education and Literacy Avenue of Leo Club of University of Kelaniya coinciding with the World Suicide Prevention month. The project was organized in anticipation of achieving the following objectives.

Adding mental happiness to depressed students and undergraduates in the face of Online education assignments, exams etc.
Bringing a little break to the tiring lives of those who are engaged in a duel between the virtual world and real life.
Provide an opportunity for our undergraduates to meet their favorite artists in the Sri Lankan music industry and to facilitate learning spaces from the stories and experiences of well-known personalities in Sri Lanka.

Taking these objectives into consideration, we identified the need of mental support to those who are depressed with the tiring schedules of their lives. Accordingly, the organizing committee came up with the suggestion of motivating them to succeed, while recognizing music as a means of making up the minds of the depressed young generation of the country in the face of this pandemic. Consequently, the project was launched in two days under two different phases to reach the aforementioned goals.

Built on Respect

The "Built on Respect" project was aimed at making youngsters aware of sexual health and the related issues with the aim of improving the sexual health knowledge of University students. We chose Ms Shyamalee Pathiage who is a Maternal and Infant Health Consultant as our resource person to conduct the session. More than 140 participants joined with us through ZOOM and Facebook and participants were presented with the valuable opportunity to ask questions from the resource person and get their doubts clarified after the awareness program. At the end of the program, we received many forms of feedback from the participants and they were grateful for the Leo Club of University of Kelaniya as well as for the Health Care Avenue of the club for organizing such a timely and interesting session for them. They showed their appreciation to us by various means and we were glad that we were able to organize this session to raise awareness among our youth about Sexual health and related aspects.

The second session was conducted to inform the audience about marine life conservation under the topic “Causes and consequences of marine life destructions” by Mr. P.B.Terney Pradeep Kumara (Ph.D.), Professor in Oceanography, Department of Oceanography and Marine Geology, University of Ruhuna.

In the third session, we mainly focused on the groups who are interested in wildlife photography, under the topic “Be masters in the field of wildlife photography”.
