At the end of the day It's not about what you have or even what you've accomplished... it's about who you've lifted up,
who you've made better...
In addition to his entrepreneurial ventures, Rashan is an advocate of giving back to the community. As Denzel Washington once eloquently said “It’s not about what you have or even what you’ve accomplished...it’s about what you’ve given back!”. His involvement in the non-for-profit (NPF) sector began at the Australian Green Development Forum (AGDF) as the youngest board member. In his role at the AGDG the goal was to make a difference in the Australian Building & Construction (AEC) industry with a focus on sustainability. For the first three years his involvement in organising monthly Professional Development events for Architects, Designers and other AEC professionals, centered around sustainable activity in Brisbane was a great source of knowledge.
Following this initial step, Rashan has been involved in a variety of cultural and community organisations. Today, he is part of the largest global non-for-profit organisations - as a Global Shaper of the World Economic Forum (WEF) - Gold Coast Chapter and the United Nation’s Association of Australia (UNAA) - QLD Chapter as the Education Officer and is involved in a variety of projects, ventures and deliveries - all centered around education, knowledge & learning, sustainability, global goals, technology and of course design thinking.
Within the Global Goals, No. 4: Quality Education is Rashan’s main focus with a variety of projects geared towards inclusive and equitable quality education and promoting lifelong learning opportunities for all.
