WELCOME TO THE
EAST COAST INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT SUMMIT
The goal of ECIDS is to bring together a cross-disciplinary group of student leaders from across the Atlantic Region to see how they can apply technical knowledge to collaborative solutions.
ECIDS acknowledges it is in Mi'kma'ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi'kmaq People.
GLOBAL HEALTH & DEVELOPMENT
LIVING IN A PANDEMIC
We are living through a unique time. The global pandemic has led many to recognize the importance of health in all aspects of life. For this reason, we have chosen Global Health and Development as this year’s theme. It is critical that we examine, understand, and expose the inequalities relating to health and how they affect all parts of life: individually and communally, nationally and internationally.
Our goal is to engage students and youth from all disciplines (e.g., development, medicine, business, engineering) so that they may come together to exchange knowledge and ideas. We hope that students can build partnerships with peers and future colleagues in order to truly build a better future for the global population.
