“We are dedicated to enabling Sri Lankan youth to thrive in Aotearoa New Zealand, by balancing their dual identity”
Our Vision
We believe in creating a supportive and inclusive community and to bring awareness to the invisible barriers faced by Sri Lankan youth, in order to provide the tools necessary to thrive
Our Purpose
All diaspora communities face an identity crisis when growing up in a new country. Statistics show that ethnic minority groups have less opportunities to succeed.
This issue grows deeper if youth don’t have a strong sense of who they are as they navigate multiple worlds, cultures and contexts.
Positive change starts from within. Duality was formed to break the cycle for first generation Asian communities and provide youth with the tools and services they need to succeed.
Our Work
Community Engagement
We are passionate about stimulating fruitful conversations and coordinating interactive workshops to dissect particular topics identified in our research
Mentorship Programme
We believe intergenerational knowledge is key to supporting youth to grow and thrive and relate to someone who has gone through the same experience
Story Telling
Duality will act as a centralised knowledge hub for the community to break down the invisible barriers and learn about other people’s experiences
Get in touch
A community initiative is only as strong as the community roots
Duality is looking to build a network of leaders who have the heart and passion to give back to the community no matter how small the effort
