An Invitation to Selected Personnel

Guest speakers, Prashan De Visser and Christin Rajah of Sri Lanka Unites, will discuss their experiences growing up in Sri Lanka and how they came together to form this inspiring social movement for meaningful reconciliation being led by youth in Sri Lanka. For Canadians interested in learning more about what steps are being taken, at a grassroots level by individuals and organizations, to address the grievances and concerns of all Sri Lankans in the aftermath of the bloody civil conflict.
Sri Lankans Without Borders is a growing not-for-profit network based in Toronto, Canada that provides young Canadians of Sri Lankan origin with opportunities to connect, build and lead initiatives that promote dialogue, reconciliation and peace in the diaspora community in Canada and for all communities in Sri Lanka.
Our mandate is to facilitate candid dialogue and conversation amongst diaspora communities who trace their origins to Sri Lanka. We acknowledge the difference in opinions and experiences that exist and it is our hope to create safe spaces in which dialogue can occur and from which we can learn from one another. We also welcome the insight and experiences of other communities whose unique experiences may help us reflect on our own.
