The demand for vibrant civic engagement by the youth in Sri Lanka towards a progressive, inclusive and a sustainable country is much aspired towards given the unfortunate conflict-ridden history of the country. NYMUN laid the foundation for sustained engagement of young people beginning with the initial conference in 2016. We believe that by including passionate and diverse youth currently engaged in various academic and professional ventures, we will give them the opportunity to develop their knowledge and skills, whilst developing perspectives and attitudes necessary for leadership and civic engagement. By engaging youth, our hope is that they come to possess the core values leaders must possess; the ability to communicate, compromise and reach sustainable solutions that are inclusive of all communities and individuals. NYMUN will also function as a platform to meet and exchange ideas, as well as build lasting connections between dynamic individuals who may perhaps one day be at the forefront of our nation.
