The grassroots nano movement in Nigeria is expanding! Enaanapu Gabriel, our Community Ambassador from Port Harcourt in Nigeria, convinced two vendors at the Bole Festival to accept nano.

The Bole Festival is the largest food festival in Nigeria with more than 25,000 people sharing the popular local dish: Bole & Fish. The theme of the event is #loveandvibes with focus on Earth’s sustainability.

“We plan to share at least 50 plates of bole with nano, print phamplets and create beautiful memories at the event. With these in place, we can kick-start the dream to give the beloved continent something to remember when a nano product or campaign is mentioned.” Gabriel says.

The event is on the 5th and 6th of August.

George Coxon, Director at the Nano Foundation, spoke at the United Nations Summer Academy yesterday.

George says:
"Really pleased with how yesterday's Trend Talk for the UN Summer Academy went. The audience were national & local government bodies, civil society, academia, as well as private sector sustainability entrepreneurs and organisations such as WWF in addition to UN Staff - everyone was really engaged, asked lots of great questions and then had a flurry of connections post talk wanting to chat further! Thank you all for the well wishes of support!

I have been approached to now to give a similar workshop/talk at the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) which I am just over the moon about (and hopefully fully secure) this would be a wonderful showcase of how nano has the potential to be incredibly helpful in crisis and disaster zones in the future.

Off to Reset Connect today which I hope to update you all on later. I am not speaking like last year however going to network and educate myself on the latest news in the sustainability sector."
