In a few weeks me and my friends will be departing to Week Without Walls (WWW),which is a 5 day trip set up in different parts around Sri Lanka. For me, I will be heading to the Dry Zone, where will mainly focus on exploring the borders between culture and nature, things we don't really experience within our day to day lives.
During the trip we will be doing a various range of activities; from rock climbing, to snorkeling, to seeing ancient sights/runes, and when participating in these activities we will be developing new skills and undertaking new challenges, but at the same time we have to work collaboratively with others in order for these activities to become a success, especially activities that require teamwork such as navigating our way through the forest, and making a map. Also we have to be ethical about our actions, since the area we are going to is very cultural and preserved by nature, therefore we have to show respect towards the area and the culture present there, as its a big part of not only the village there, but Sri Lanka's culture in general. The preservation of culture, not only in Sri Lanka, but worldwide has become a big issue, therefore we are striving to help and preserve the culture present there (engaged in issues of global importance).
THe place where are staying is http://www.backofbeyond.lk/, which is also a very nature dominant lodge, contributing to our border of culture and nature experience greatly.
