British Council Sri Lanka is organising an event to celebrate the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting due in November 2013. The event will be a celebration with the involvement of the country’s youth in recognising the work and values of the commonwealth.

The celebration will come to life at a carnival organised in Colombo. The carnival aims to have stalls representing as many countries of the Commonwealth together with a lot more activities to engage the youth participating.

Amongst these various activities is the launch of a song and music video created with the Commonwealth values as the focus of its content.
