Project Sri Lanka ... Introduction ...part 1 of 14

Part 1 of a documentary about Project Sri Lanka, introducing the project and talking about some of the things it does. This documentary gives an insight into project Sri Lanka, particularly the student involvement side of it, showing what it is like to volunteer on the project and how the work of volunteers helps communities in Sri Lanka. It was impossible to include everything in this documentary, and difficult to film whilst out in Sri Lanka because for the most part we were concentrating all our energy on doing things rather than filming them. For this reason, you will only get to see a small cross section of the things involved in Project Sri Lanka, but I hope you will enjoy it anyway. For more information, see below and click on the link below.

Project Sri Lanka is an all-inclusive' project. It brings together Durham University students and staff with community and regional partners in activities which aim to assist with both the reconstruction and regeneration of tsunami devastated communities in Southern Sri Lanka and also with the long term sustainable development of both coastal and inland villages. It is grounded in humanitarian objectives. It has students and young people at the heart of it. It is underpinned by academic research and teaching in a wide range of disciplines which have relevance to understanding natural disasters and dealing with the effects of human tragedy.
