By now we all know that the COVID-19 virus has
spread around the world and has claimed many lives. It
has seriously affected all the countries of the world. The situation is well
under control now and the authorities are planning an exit strategy. Therefore,
considering this prevailing situation we, the Rotaract Club of University of
Peradeniya decided to do something new under the International Service Avenue to
make people aware of this pandemic situation. So we thought that maybe it would
be even more effective if we could make this known not only to our country, but
also to the other countries in the world. This “Live with COVID” was an International Service
Initiative to raise awareness about the Global Pandemic: COVID-19, its
prevention methods and to appreciate the true heroes behind the battle against
COVID-19 while giving a chance to think creatively. This was an International
competition and we had majority of participants from India, Bangladesh,
Pakistan, Nepal and also participants from some African countries too. This was
another successful step taken by the Rotaract Club of University of Peradeniya
to make people aware of this COVID-19 pandemic situation.
This project was carried out as a
competition with the intention of checking the creativity of participants. Participants
were given two themes and were asked to send us their creative videos, digital
posters, hand drawn posters and photographs related to the themes. The two
themes were:
1.
Offering
tribute to health officers
2.
Following
Public Health Guidelines
Mainly, we wanted to appreciate the
true heroes behind this battle against COVID-19 while giving a chance to think
creatively.
At the end of the competition, we
selected three winners and winners of each category were admired with special
valuable E- Certificates. Every other participant too was admired with another
valuable E-Certificate. “Live with COVID” competition gave a great opportunity for participants
to develop their creativity and soft skills while becoming aware of the
COVID-19 pandemic situation.
