Changing Sri Lankan teenagers’ lives

“Leadership in Action Summits” will be held at Harvard and Stanford Universities in USA for the next generation of corporate and social leaders.

Since 2000 over 550 Sri Lankan teenagers have experienced this amazing week in the USA which has changed their lives forever. Four hundred and seventy of them entered foreign Universities.

These include Yale, Harvard, Stanford, Brown, Upenn, Washington, Mt. Holliork, Notradam, Macalister, Clark, Wisconsin in the USA, Sydney, Melbourne and East Sydney in Australia and Oxford, Nottingham, Warrick, Leeds, Sheffield, Kings, LSE and Sussex in the United Kingdom.

Majority of them after graduation came back to Sri Lanka to take on exciting new careers or to join their parents’ companies and organizations to lead those to a new level.

In 2012 Sri Lanka will send 30 student leaders for the Leadership in Action Summit at the prestigious Harvard University in Boston, Massachusetts and Stanford University in Palo Alto, California, USA.

The programme will be conducted by ‘People to People Leadership Programmes’ of The Dwight Eisenhower Foundation, founded in 1956 by the late US President, Dwight Eisenhower. Students from outside USA represent 38 percent of the summit. More information and applications could be obtained from www.futureworldleader.org
