The Institute of Island Studies is delighted to kick off a season of online programming with a Virtual Hub event discussing Islands and COVID-19 Recovery Plans: Promoting Resilience and Sustainability. This virtual panel and discussion will be an opportunity to share lessons on how islands are demonstrating resilience as they respond to COVID-19, and bring a collection of local voices together to discuss the challenges and opportunities that we are navigating here on Prince Edward Island.

Moderated by Dr Laurie Brinklow, the discussion will be led by three key speakers (see below) who will then be joined by representatives from island communities around the world and here on PEI, before opening the floor up to questions from attendees.

Key Speakers:
D.r Jim Randall, UNESCO Chair in Island Studies and Sustainability, University of Prince Edward Island
Dr. Francesco Sindico, Strathclyde Centre for Environmental Law & Governance (SCELG)
Dr. Giulia Sajeva, Marie SkÅ‚odowska Curie Individual Fellowship holder with SCELG

This virtual event is free and everyone is welcome to attend.
The event will be hosted on Zoom. Advanced registration is required.
