When we say spark in Vikings family, we all know it is for us to get out of the rock bottom and to hit the stars. Spark episode 02 was this year support from Vikings for the undergraduates who are into entrepreneurship. Vikings episode 01 was a total success which leads to episode 02 to be even more challenging. it was conducted by successful young entrepreneurs who are undergraduates from different disciples. More than 80 participants were there for the spark series which went throughout the July month till mid of August. Every Thursday there was a session focusing on hot topics of young undergraduates who are willing to get up with their own feet. Vikings did not forget what we are there for, as a matter of fact, we had included a session done by Mr Dulaj Udayanga which was about “social entrepreneurship and real happiness”. Guest speakers had organized their speeches in a way that participants were felt in love with entrepreneurship for the rest of their lives. One of the guest speakers said, ” it is not about money always but the satisfaction you get”. it ended with real success. Vikings family felt really happy at the end since they were able to deliver what they expected. Certificates signed by Vice-chancellor of Sri Jayewardenepura University were precious as they were given to the active participants. Spark Episode 03 will come soon as we saw the potential behind the Spark series to change the world with better people.
