The Twinning Schools Programme (TSP), a main component of Communities for Progress II (C4PII), implemented under the Transition Recovery Programme (TRP) of UNDP, began in June 2011. It aimed to strengthen social reconciliation and socio-economic recovery in conflict-affected communities.
The Twinning Schools Programme was held at the Uva Wellassa University, Badulla from 17 to 21 April 2013 bringing together more than 200 school children from 21 conflict-affected communities for a unique experience of learning and sharing. The participants were gathered amidst the professional guidance of top national athletes, artists and media personnel for an invaluable exposure to talent and professional experience.
