Social Action Plans

The team Knights of the Table targeted SDG 4 by crafting an employment awareness campaign titled,  Employment Educational Practices with Social Awareness. The mission of this project is to increase the employability and entrepreneurship of youth and adults by enhancing relevant skills, including technical and vocational skills. To implement this, the team was able to specifically target a partnership with their university career guidance unit for workshops and awareness programs. 

Rock stars emphasized SDG 16 — peace, justice, and strong institutions, in their timely and relevant awareness project on drug usage among youth, which is prevalent in Sri Lanka, specifically in universities. The team thought that by a safe and peaceful society can be attained by eliminating the use of drugs. 

For the Miracle Makers team, it is essential to look at the existing road and traffic system in place to avoid accidents and decrease road injury and deaths. As such, this targeted SDGs 3 and 11. The solutions in their SAPs tackled varying levels of accountability: first, to oneself by being aware and initiating good driving habits; second, to the authorities to strengthen sanctions for disobeying drivers; and lastly, to the community to engage in awareness projects by volunteering in controlling traffic. 

The fourth group, also known as, Dare dragons, decided to focus on SDG 5 — gender equality. Similar to other groups, the team wanted to build awareness about gender inequality and gender-based violence that are consistently happening in society. This will be implemented in schools and the public through workshops and street performances.

The Thinker’s Club thought that it is high time to address malnutrition and food insecurity in their community. Their analysis rooted the problem in the lack of resources to be aware of proper diet. Therefore, their program seeks to organize group discussions, engaging competitions, and other specific campaigns that will lead to their expected outcomes of having healthy children with healthy diets.
