What makes Dhaara truly exceptional is its student-driven nature. Every aspect of the program—from vocals, music, and dance to production, coordination, and event management—is conceptualized and executed by undergraduates. This holistic involvement not only showcases artistic talent but also equips students with essential real-world skills such as teamwork, leadership, communication, and problem-solving.
Building on the remarkable success of Dhaara 2024, which engaged hundreds of participants and created meaningful pathways for students to enter professional artistic careers through industry exposure, Dhaara 2026 is set to elevate this experience even further. The upcoming edition will introduce expanded professional development workshops, structured competitive performance rounds, and inspiring appearances by leading Sri Lankan artists alongside our talented finalists. These enhancements aim to bridge the gap between university talent and the professional creative industry.
More than just a competition, Dhaara has proven to be a transformative platform—one that converts student potential into professional success. Participants gain invaluable exposure, industry connections, and the confidence needed to pursue opportunities within the creative and performing arts sectors.
