The G17 University Ambassadors of the Uva Wellassa University of Sri Lanka conducted an interactive physical booth to celebrate the SDG month of September. 

The SDG Booth was successfully held on September 30th, 10.00 am onwards, at the auditorium on the Technology Faculty grounds by the G17 University Ambassadors of Uva Wellassa University, with the participation of over 150 students, and staff.

The SDG Booth aimed to enhance SDG knowledge and motivate undergraduates for a sustainable future. The program included awareness sessions as well as enjoyable events and engaging SDG-related activities.

The objectives of the SDG Booth were to:

• Raise awareness of SDG goals and their importance 
• Raise awareness of the G17 University Ambassador Consortium among undergraduates
• Create a platform to share knowledge on SDGs.
• Create a platform to work collaboratively with all the clubs in the university.

By aiming for these focused objectives, we invited special guests to our SDG Booth. Mr. Chula Amarathunge, who is the General Manager, Estate Monitoring, at Malwatte Valley Plantations, and Mr. Jagath Kulathilake who is Head of the Department, Department of English Language Teaching, Senior Lecturer, Senior Student Counselor participated as the main guest speakers at the session. We are certain that the guest speakers’ expertise, knowledge, and insights have helped the audience to think outside the box.

Furthermore, the photo booth was open for anyone to take pictures and remember the occasion. The Ambassadors’ hard work, dedication, and enthusiasm made the SDG booth a successful event. We are thankful for the support of the Main Student Union of Uva Wellassa University, the Uva Rayon Media Unit that covered the full event with official photographers, and the Dancing Circle of Uva Wellassa University who performed an elaborate dancing item.
