WORKSHOP ON SCHOLARLY PUBLICATIONS

Dissemination of research findings is an essential part of the scientific research process.  Hence, it is of utmost importance for a researcher who is writing a full paper with the aim of publishing in a reputable journal or in a reputable proceeding.  Furthermore, getting a paper published in a reputable peer-reviewed journal or proceeding is an important milestone for researchers.

Through the publication workshop, we intend to disseminate knowledge on writing scientific papers and scholarly publications to assist future researchers.  All conference participants are welcome to participate in this workshop.

Panel Discussion on “Sex Education”

In understanding one of the most contemporary issues that need to be discussed in Sri Lanka and worldwide, this panel aims at focusing on local participants as well as all conference participants.  Countries including Sri Lanka are increasingly acknowledging the importance of equipping young people with knowledge and skills to make responsible choices for their lives.  Sex education supports young people’s empowerment by improving their analytical, communication and other life skills for health and well-being in relation to sexuality, human rights, values, healthy and respectful relationships, cultural and social norms, gender equality, non-discrimination, sexual behavior, violence and gender-based violence, consent, sexual abuse, and harmful practices.

This panel will be facilitated by a moderator, allowing the panelists to debate and provide information while allowing participants to engage, share their experiences, learnings, and challenges in the field.
