GCS Green Summit: Sustainable Futures Event – Wednesday 20th March

The Environment club are hosting Gower College Swansea’s first ‘Green summit: Sustainable futures’ event on Wednesday 20^th March in D4 Gorseinon campus (14:30 – 16:15). Given the importance of this agenda for the college, our learners and the planet, we are asking staff, across all campuses, to actively encourage their learners to attend (transport will be provided).

We encourage staff to attend with their groups where possible, however, should staff attendance not be possible, we do ask that you support learners wishes to attend and excuse them from your lesson if it is convenient to do so ( i.e. no class test, course work activities).

Places at the event will be on a first come first served basis, due to event space capacity. If you wish to attend with your group, or have a learner who wishes to attend please complete the booking forms at the bottom of the page by Close Of Play on Friday 8^th March.
