The most cherished facet of PGC 2024 has to be the vibrant sense of community it nurtured. It’s the people – passionate, diverse, and spread across the globe – who made this journey unforgettable. In this digital realm, I found a global family, all united by a common purpose: safeguarding our planet. What made it truly memorable was the collective synergy.

It was like a mosaic, with each participant contributing a unique piece, forming a beautiful, environmentally conscious tapestry. Moreover, the creative challenges opened the floodgates of ingenuity. Witnessing innovative eco-solutions emerge from this creative cauldron was awe-inspiring.
