Beyond Borders Sri Lanka a voluntary youth-led, youth-run project supported by the British Council office in Colombo, focuses on building greater mutual understanding, learning and respect while developing an understanding of active global citizenship.
A functional network of almost hundred Core Group Members (CGMs) in all five countries manages project activities focusing on active citizenship and social development. With workshops and outreach work to distribute learning gained through project work, the CGMs gain exposure to best practice community projects in collaboration with partners. One of the highlights of Beyond Borders is the five festivals organised in Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and UK last year, bringing together the CGMs in neighbouring countries.
As a next step for our projects, we have undertaken initiatives that provide a space for young people to actively express themselves on issues that include peace building and conflict transformation, sexual health education and HIV/AIDS, and working with under-privileged children.
If you are interested in community service, and want to be a part of a change that you have always wanted to see in your world, we invite you to send in your applications (CVs) to us to be a part of Beyond Borders.
