Empowering children to be IN CHARGE of their world.

Let’s Build Great Things! Is an Arts based education project, focused on supplementing the Sri Lankan school system with innovative tools and ideas necessary for our future.

We are a collective of volunteer designers belonging to a range of creative fields such as art, architecture to graphic design. Since 2012 (with exeption a small hiatus during Covid), we have spent two hours every Sunday at a children’s center in Colombo - extracting from our professional backgrounds to experiment with bite sized exercises for children.

Through architecture and design themed Sunday ‘Art’ classes, students are encouraged to act on their ideas, think critically and make. We promote project based learning and encourage professionals to share their expertise with children.

We currently conduct our ‘art’ classes at the Building Hope Children’s center in Colombo, Sri Lanka where we can reach low-income communities. All the classes are free for the students and are volunteer driven.

Currently, we are working on documenting and sharing our lesson plans with you all.
