Youth Empowerment Project 8.0 is initialized by the AIESEC Colombo South to enhance the entrepreneur skills, interpersonal skills and knowledge of students from universities, higher educational institutes and schools in order to develop leadership skills & international exposure. To make this dream a reality 10 foreign undergraduates will be joining with AIESEC to conduct the project.

Yep 8.0 is now aligned with Sustainable Development Goals Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong opportunities for all

Yep 8.0 is focuses its work on serving the 4th sustainable goal set by The United Nations. We believe by empowering the school and university students to discover their hidden potential while developing their interpersonal skills will lead to achieve the goals and objectives of the both the country and the community successfully.

Why The world lacks the trust of the leaders. Young people bear the responsibility of restoring this hope and genuinely impact on the society. So the guidance is crucial. It’s all about letting them discover themselves to find their hidden potential.

We are the youth of our country. We strive for excellence every time. We stop at nothing. We know the peace and the development of mankind is in our hands.

Youth Empowerment is not an option, it’s our responsibility and privilege to guide them to their highest goals and dreams ensuring a better future.

So this is not just a project. This is our dream, our desire to make a positive impact on and show to youth that there is a whole world beyond the sea but not just the horizon. That’s why we are bringing global citizens for their doorstep to give them the experience what’s beyond the sea. We believe that the experience cannot be learned, it has to be witnessed.

So we cordially invite you to become a part of this project where you might actually change lives.
