For the 70th Independence Day celebrations, the youth will come together today under the name “70th Independence and Youth”, forum at Lakshman Kadiragamar Institute from 2.00 p.m. organized by The Road to Rights Youth-led Organization.
Under this theme, the plan is to bring the youth together from various platforms to have an intelligent dialogue on many cross cutting issues found in Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka went through many struggles to gain independence and this is something that every person must reflect on and value. However, it is time for youth to reflect on past achievements, especially bringing a discussion among youth on where it went right and where it went wrong in the process of building a better future for Sri Lanka.
According to the organisers, in 2018, we stand on the post-war era where there are many transformations in the country. The young people, have a key role to play in contributing to the nation building process while identifying themselves as global citizens. This is why, as a youth-led organization The Road to Rights is bringing “70th Independence and Youth” to create a conversation among youth to identify their role in drawing the way to a sustainable future.
“70th Independence & Youth” forum will take place with two panel discussions under some major points relating to the youth and the society and it will consist three key speakers where they will be delivering a speech leading to an open discussion with the participation of youth.
There will be 150 young individuals representing leading youth networks, organizations, various sectors, as well as young professionals, young entrepreneurs, social media and journalists.
The Road to Rights is giving the youth reading this, a chance to participate in this forum. For more details visit www.roadtorights.org and to register, send an email with your details to [email protected] .
