Both in-person and online events will feature information from the Eden Project team and the opportunity for members of the community to discuss ideas.The Eden Project has already hosted three in-person events in the city this summer, with the remaining programme of events confirmed:• October 18, 2pm to 7.30pm – in person at Discovery PointFor more information and to register for events, see www.edenproject.com/dundee.Darren Hoare, the Eden Project’s head of programme delivery, said: “We have had a fantastic summer of co-creation events in Dundee.
