Sri Lanka Model United Nations holds a position of utmost prestige in the annual Model UN calendar, and is one of the biggest conferences in Sri Lanka. This year, it broke the ‘new convention’ and opted for a physical conference which was held from the 22nd to the 23rd of January 2022 at the Bandaranaike Memorial International Conference Hall (BMICH). Its Theme ‘Restless for change’ blended well with Gateway’s grit for change and development, resulting in the obtaining of 19 awards.
