Sri Lanka

The highlight of the Science Film Festival 2024 in Sri Lanka was a three-day Youth Camp held in Kala Wewa at the end of November, bringing together 86 students from nine partner schools across the country. The camp featured workshops, film screenings, and seminars focused on sustainability, achieving net-zero emissions, and the circular economy, aligning with the festival's key themes.

A standout activity was a group-based creative exercise where students developed and performed theatre scripts addressing current environmental issues. This hands-on activity encouraged critical thinking and collaboration, allowing students to engage with the festival’s themes in a practical and meaningful way.

Organized in partnership with the Environmentalist Foundation of India, the Youth Camp provided an interactive platform for students to explore pressing environmental topics while fostering awareness and creativity. Partner schools included Viharamahadevi Girl’s College Kandy, Palagala Maha Vidyalaya, and Parakramabahu National College Polgahawela, among others.
