Feel Free 2.0 - Phase II "Inside Out"

By -

The truly beautiful souls are those who weave their dreams and who listen not just to the world’s whispers but also to the relentless echo of their minds. The Leo Club of University of Colombo organized the Feel Free project for the second time with the aim of fostering the mental wellness. The second phase of the project was successfully completed on 27th of March. This article is a reflection of the second phase of our project.

The second phase of Feel Free 2.0, is dedicated to the ambitious undergraduates tenaciously pursuing their dreams. We decided to organize a mental wellness workshop to university students of University of Colombo as we recognized the importance of maintaining the mental wellbeing of our colleagues amid academic works and other social impacts. Thus, we organized the workshop and invited Ms. Supekshala Rathnayake, Assistant Student Counselor, lecturer of Sociology and Psychology in University of Colombo as our esteemed guest speaker. This workshop was held at the Faculty of Management and Finance of University of Colombo. The program was a comprehensive 3-hour experience that incorporated mental exercises, music therapy, counseling sessions and games to promote mental well-being. Accordingly, we were able to conclude a successful workshop as planned on March 27th. 

Inside out - workshop was a mere success beyond our expectations. The participants seized the opportunity to discuss different mental struggles that they face and received the guidance to tackle such conflicts.  Music therapy and mental exercises conducted during the workshop was a mind-blowing moment as it relaxed our stressed mind and body. Nevertheless, this session highlighted the value of being an empathetic human-being which was a golden touch for shaping up the attitudes of the students.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude for Ms. Supekshala Rathnayake for accepting our invitation and conducting a valuable workshop. Furthermore, we like to extend our appreciation to all the participants in the workshop and the members of the Leo Club of University of Colombo who helped in organizing this session. Last but not least, our heartfelt thanks to all of you for the tireless work and dedication towards the successful completion of Inside Out, the second phase of the project Feel Free.

Leo Nethmini Rathnayake.

          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. Menstruation remains a taboo in many cultures, viewed as shameful or impure due to cultural and religious norms. This stigma prevents open discussions and limits access to information 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?
