AIESEC in Malaysia_Global Citizen Programme in Sri Lanka

Global Citizen Programme in Sri Lanka -It’s time to chase your dream!

Sri Lanka

Pearl of the Indian Ocean

It’s more than travelling. You are important!

Education Sri Lanka has only 13.2% literacy in English - one of the major issues in education system, which dramatically reduces the employability of Sri Lankan youth.

You are important! to spread the awareness of English education, to inspire the student to be more enthusiastic on English learning!

Cultural understanding Sri Lanka has always been home to a multiethnic and multireligious society. Because of the historic fluidity in migration and marriage patterns, the physical attributes of the principal ethnic groups are widely distributed.

You are important!

Both countries have similarity yet a lot of cultural differences. It’s important to share the harmony and tolerate attitude of Malaysian.

Environment Climate-related hazards pose a significant threat to economic and social development in Sri Lanka, the well being of all living things, agriculture, water resources, energy environment and fisheries in Sri Lanka.

You are important! to educate the future leaders of Sri Lanka about these issues, and also to give constructive feedbacks to organizations to improve waste management.

Fun fact Because the country has lots of waterfalls, most of Sri Lanka’s electricity is powered by hydro-powered energy.

Sri Lanka’s national flag is said to be one of the oldest flags in the world.

Among the activities one can enjoy there is surfing, windsurfing, kayaking, whalewatching, trekking and safari.

Still hesitating? A little story might help… :) “There was this girl, she came to me after the personality development workshop with one of the classes ended, softly she said :"Yuin, thank you for bringing the world to us." And then she hugged me and then we cried. It's like, you know you are really doing something good that will help these girls in becoming better leaders of their own lives! It's your existence there with them that will further motivate them to work towards what they want, despite all the cruel realities that they might need to face!”

It was a really wonderful experience as I get to experience and enjoy being half a Sri Lankan, being showered by the hospitality of the lovely people, create positive impacts to the girls (from culture understanding to self-development), and also to be inspired and empower myself throughout my 6 weeks of Global Citizen Programme!
