Month: September 2024

JGC Eco Summit

The members of the Eco Group are prepared and ready to welcome eco group representatives from across the Borders for the inaugural Jedburgh Eco Summit.

The JGC Eco Group have been working hard to prepare for this event with sustainable name badges being custom made in co-operation with the technical department, speeches being prepared to introduce our wonderful guest speakers, and classes working together to create ice-breaker questions.

We look forward to kicking everything off with some eco-themed get-to-know-me questions and some networking between eco group representatives.
