The importance of extra-curricular activities | Pavara Rambukwella | TEDxYouth@Peradeniya

Undertaking extracurricular activities has far-ranging benefits that touch on many aspects of a child's development. I'm an ALs student doing business studies, economics and ICT and attend Trinity College Kandy. ill be doing my ALs in 2022. I'm an active participant in the extracurriculars at school. mainly debating, Model united nations and Interact, which I am the vice captain, sectary and president of respectively. I like to consider my self an out door person even though most days I prefer staying indoors, unless its a hike. then I'm all in. I like to keep myself up to date on current world issues ranging from human rights, environment to economics and politics. My hope is to make my way to the UN.
