Dear Humber,
On Thursday, June 8, we came together to celebrate the incredible journey of teaching and learning innovations at this year’s Showcase: authentic event. It was a day filled with inspiration, emotions, and learning. As we reflect on the memories created, we are overwhelmed with gratitude and joy for everyone who brought their authentic selves to this year’s event.
The day kicked off with the much-anticipated Innovation of the Year Awards, where we recognized the exceptional achievements and ground-breaking ideas which continue to advance the teaching and learning experience. Following the awards, we were reminded of the power of resilience, determination, and authenticity from Samra Zafar's inspirational and moving keynote address.
At lunch, we embraced the spirit of Authentic by offering a diverse selection of food stemming from five distinct cultures. The flavourful cuisines united on our plate, making the luncheon a remarkable experience for everyone present. At the same time, the Exhibit Centre displayed an array of thought-provoking topics, and incredible ideas shared by our exhibitors.
The sessions throughout the day were a treasure trove of knowledge, insights, and practical strategies that challenged our thinking and helped us explore unique perspectives.
We ended the day in celebration with ice cream, popsicles, along with a raffle for those who attended the Exhibit Centre. What a wonderful way to conclude our time together, reminding us of the simple joys and pleasures that bring us together.
To the attendees, exhibitors, and presenters, we want to express our deepest gratitude for your presence and contributions. Your willingness to share, connect, and learn from one another created an atmosphere of unity and inspiration that will continue to resonate long after the event.
As we bid farewell to Authentic Showcase 2023, we find ourselves already in anticipation for next year’s celebration. Let us carry the spirit of innovation, collaboration, and authenticity in our hearts as we continue to transform education and empower future generations. Thank you once more!
Warmest regards,
Showcase 2023 Organizing Committee
