On August 13th, Leo Club of University of Moratuwa launched the first phase of their chess project; DEN OF KINGS aiming to empower rural schools through chess education. The project was established in Nelumgama Kanishta Vidyalaya - Badulla, introducing chess to students who had little prior knowledge of the sport. Chess boards were provided for the students, opening a door to a captivating world of strategy and intellect.
Students were grouped and engaged in a learning session where chess basics were taught. Starting with those up to grade 8 and advancing to higher levels, students enthusiastically embraced the new skill. This initiative aimed to nurture critical thinking and decision-making abilities while instilling the joy of learning and strategy.
The project DEN OF KINGS left students eager to continue their chess journey. They were encouraged to practice and were introduced to the prospect of chess camps and competitions. Beyond skill development, this program lightens up ambition and healthy competition, shaping students' attitudes towards excellence and personal growth.
DEN OF KINGS chess project phase 1 empowered students at Nelumgama Kanishta Vidyalaya with a new skill and a vision for future achievements, improving enthusiasm and ambition in a rural education setting.
