Student Projects
Transform Global Challenges into Opportunities
At iNA, we firmly believe in the transformational potential of hands-on learning experiences. This conviction led us to establish our Student Projects, practical initiatives designed to tackle the pressing issues of our time. In alliance with the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals (UN17SDGs), our projects equip iNA's youth with unparalleled opportunities to effect meaningful, positive transformations.
Guided by their esteemed mentors, our students are given the extraordinary opportunity to partner with foreign governments, focusing their efforts on enhancing conditions for the most underprivileged youth. Immersed in these pivotal initiatives, iNA students augment their global understanding and actively contribute to a broader international commitment towards sustainable and equitable development. Through these projects, we at iNA are cultivating a new generation of forward-thinking, compassionate leaders dedicated to worldwide improvement.
Case Study - Sri Lanka
At iNA, we deeply believe in immersive learning, and our case study and problem-solving projects epitomize this approach. Our current focus is on the economic crisis in Sri Lanka, a nation that declared bankruptcy in 2022. This unfortunate event, while devastating for the country and its people, provides a unique learning environment for our students.
The project delves into the profound effects of economic contraction, dwindling investor confidence, harsh austerity measures, debt defaults, and social unrest. But more importantly, it uncovers the intricate solutions governments and international allies conceive to navigate such crises.
Our students don't just learn about these complexities from a distance - they become a part of the solution. They are challenged to put forward ideas and strategies to aid their peers in Sri Lanka, especially in education and employment. Through this direct engagement, iNA students better understand global economic issues and develop invaluable empathy and problem-solving skills beyond the classroom. They truly embody iNA's mission: to prepare the youth to thrive in a globalized world and to transform challenges into opportunities for growth and development.

UN17SDGs
The United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals (UN17SDGs) are a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure all people enjoy peace and prosperity by 2030. These comprehensive goals address the world's most pressing challenges, including environmental sustainability, social inequality, and economic disparity.
iNA is dedicated to these global objectives. Through our education programs and hands-on projects, we align with these goals, inspiring youth to engage with these pressing issues. From tackling socio-economic challenges to championing environmental conservation and responsible consumption, iNA's initiatives directly contribute to achieving these vital targets.
