University Footprints, Community Handprints Event
In March 2010 people from 12 universities attended a day of workshops and discussion at Edinburgh about students and staff using practical projects to make our Universities fit for the future.
The event, organised by NUS Scotland, People & Planet, and Transition Edinburgh University looked at questions like “how can University green projects work together”, “how to get funding for practical projects”, and showcased ideas such as People & Planet’s Going Greener campaign.
