ATLANTIC COMMUNITY SHOWCASE PRESENTATIONS
Holland College, Charlottetown, PEI
August 18-20, 2025
AUGUST 18 – ATLANTIC COMMUNITY SHOWCASE
The Atlantic Summer Institute on Healthy and Safe Communities is inviting selected programs to submit applications to showcase their work at the Opening Ceremony of the ASI 2025 Policy Forum on August 18th. The Forum is being held at Holland College, Charlottetown, PEI as an in-person event with a hybrid option.
The Atlantic Community Showcase will provide an opportunity to celebrate initiatives that relate to this year’s theme: Building Resilient Communities for Well-being Across Generations or to the ASI Policy Brief https://www.asi-iea.ca/en/asi-policy-brief/ and share them with to all Forum participants, invited guests, media and online attendees.
The ASI Showcase format includes:
- A 2-3 minute “sales pitch” in a recorded video to be presented during the Opening Ceremony,
- An in-person Showcase exhibit during the reception after the Opening Ceremony AND/OR an online Showcase exhibit and video via the Whova platform.
Showcase presentation materials will be prominently displayed for the duration of the Forum (August 18-20) with opportunities for ongoing dialogue with Forum participants, both in person and online.
In total we anticipate that 5-6 projects will be selected and showcased either in person, online, or both; a great opportunity to share information about the work of collaboration amongst the generations – current and future and building resilient communities that take a “whole of society approach” to promoting a well-being society for current and future generations throughout Atlantic Canada.
