National Youth Leader Asitha Samarawickrama had the opportunity to attend the 2016 Sprout Summit held in Melbourne on the 29th of July. The summit aims to equip emerging leaders and change-makers with the practical tools, processes and insights to drive successful change and create positive impact in society.
Speakers at the summit included Daniel Almagor, founder of Engineers without Borders, Australia, Erin Lewis-Fitzgerald, Founder & Managing Director, Bright Sparks Australia and Simon Griffiths, co-founder of Who Gives a Crap. Asitha was able to connect with fellow change-makers throughout the day and talk about how to build a successful not-for-profit as well as provide an overview of the work done by the Jane Goodall Institute Australia.
