I want to learn how to make traditional baskets. Are there community centers in the north that offer workshops for travelers.

The Palmyra Development Board in Jaffna city has a sales outlet and a training center where you can observe and sometimes participate in weaving sessions. For a more immersive experience, visit the village of Vallipuram where local cooperatives often host half day workshops. It is a fantastic way to support the local northern economy and learn a skill that is central to the heritage of the peninsula.
