The Leo Club of University of Colombo organized UOC LEOS Get-Together for the second consecutive time this year. With the aim of promoting unity, team work, fellowship while giving a different experience away from the usual club activities, UOC LEOS Get-Together was held on 5th February 2023 at Ambalama Leisure Lounge, Hanwella.

The COVID-19 pandemic and the financial crisis that Sri Lanka is suffering from, have had a profound impact on both physical and mental health, particularly for young people. Speaking of the university students of Sri Lanka, COVID-19 pandemic and the resultant financial crisis in the country affected their education, and the mental. 


Almost two years of their university life was spent in a remote manner due to the pandemic. The opportunities to engage with their own batch mates, build up new connections with friends and different people, joining physical gatherings and enjoying their university life was limited and it was quite a huge pressure on youth which depreciated their mental health. 


Especially they lacked the opportunities to build connections with the senior and the junior batches in the university. And with the economy of Sri Lanka being worsen, although the universities have commenced their physical classrooms as usual, still students suffer from various financial problems and they are stressed with balancing the other aspects of their lives with the academic work. As a solution, the idea of Leo Get-Together 23’ was brought into success.


It was a casual event where club members got the chance to enjoy with fellow members, build new connections by participating to the fun and leisure activities which were arranged UOC LEOS Get-Together was a remarkable event as not only the current club members, but also prospects and past members also participated in the event. 


Certificate awarding to appreciate the active members of the club in the past leoistic year was a significant part of the day where club members were encouraged to engage more in club activities. This fun filled day was concluded with a DJ party where the club members could end this enjoyable day with their favourite dance moves.
