In celebration of 60 years of excellence, Atlas Axillia Co. Ltd. has launched the ‘Atlas Future Land’ Mobile Activity Centre. This will travel to 150 locations across seven provinces in Sri Lanka to engage with the consumers. The special vehicle has been uniquely fitted out for this purpose and began its journey on 1 October, coinciding with International Children’s Day. The Mobile Activity Centre will continue to travel around the country for 75 days, ending its tour on 31 December. 

The Mobile Activity Centre is being conducted under the theme, ‘Shaping Future Leaders of Sri Lanka’, which is the central theme for Atlas Axillia Co.’s 60th anniversary celebrations. ‘Atlas Future Land’ will feature numerous innovative, exciting and engaging activities including VR and AR games and other creativity building activities. 

Speaking about Atlas Future Land, Atlas Axillia Co.

As market leaders we feel that we have a social responsibility to expose the children to new and emerging technologies and experiences. The Mobile Activity Centre will provide a futuristic, educational experience for children and showcase to the public how such technologies can be used to help make learning fun. 

“Children who visit the Mobile Activity Centre can take part in various digital activities that support the building of cognitive and motor skills, while providing plenty of excitement. The team is also raising awareness amongst parents about skills that will be important for their children in the future skills which can help them emerge as successful leaders.”
