Phase 02 – Power Up

By -

 Power Up is a brand-new project initiated by the Leo Club of the University of Colombo that falls under the category of sports and recreation.

The first phase of the project was designed to spread awareness and educate the public on techniques of self-defense and the legality behind it.



As the second phase we were able to conduct a valuable session addressing the importance of fitness and nutrition in our day to day life. Prior to the second phase, a promotional campaign was carried out to spread awareness on the importance of fitness and nutrition (healthy diet) using flyers which were published on social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp.

 


The second phase was successfully carried out on 25th February 2022 via zoom platform from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. with active participation of over 45 delegates attending the session via both Zoom as well as Facebook platforms.

The second phase addressed two topics as mentioned above and participants were allowed to present their burning questions with respect to fitness and nutrition. The second phase was conducted by an ISSA certified strength, conditioning and nutrition specialist, Mr. Shehan De Silva.


During the event, we invited Ms. Janaki karunarathna (Lead of Corporate Affairs at Hemas Consumer Brands) on behalf of, Fems – Hemas Holdings PLC to advocate the audience regarding their initiatives about women empowerment as a special appreciation to the platinum sponsor for Power Up, Fems – Hemas Holdings PLC that provides us with massive support to make this project a success.




Look forward to the upcoming phases of the project.  And tune into fitness with us!

          Diyani 8.0 - Her Well (First Phase ) ~Access to basic sanitation should be a basic right, not a privilege~ Sanitation and hygiene practices are crucial for maintaining health and well-being, yet many people, particularly women, face significant barriers in accessing proper education and resources.

As the world observes International Menstrual Hygiene Day 2024 with the theme "Period Friendly World," the question remains: Are we ready to talk openly about periods?
