Literia

Literature is a meditation that calms the mind. The Leo Club of the University of Moratuwa organized a competition called Literia coinciding with Literacy Month. The theme was "Millions of Minds Covered in Dark Corona Clouds''. Literia was a great opportunity to revive the mental well-being affected by the corona-virus.

Literia opens its doors to present literary works in Sinhala, Tamil and English. Literia received a number of valuable creations in various categories such as Poetry and Short Stories. The ideas and feelings hidden in the minds isolated by the corona were born out of Literia as beautiful creations. The final stage featured the launch of audio books as a collection of the winning creations, as well as the awarding of prizes and certificates to the winners. The awarding ceremonies were successfully conducted with the distinguished presence of guest speakers.

Literature is a comprehensive essence of the intellectual life of a nation. The Literacy project has undoubtedly created a great platform to unleash the emotions trapped in the mind by the corona.
