Due to popular demand, ECCP Cebu gives EkoShare: Bamboo Series a second edition on October 8 to 9. Certified green architect and planner Joy Onozawa is the trainer/facilitator of the workshops.

The series comes in two sessions titled Bamboo 101 and Bamboo 102. 

EkoShare: Bamboo 101 is a combination of lecture on the essentials of bamboo and hands-on activities on some of its practical uses and treatments. The session benefits not only companies and designers but also individuals and homemakers. EkoShare: Bamboo 102 is more advanced and entails making bamboo slats, proper ways of slicing and battering bamboo, foundations, columns, and bamboo flooring. Participants are expected to finish the series with a model structure of their own making.

Attendance to Bamboo 101 is a requirement to proceed to the next session, Bamboo 102.

ECCP conducts the EkoShare series as part of the Design and Technology (De-Tech) Fusion Project supported by the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) Region 7. The project aims to enhance the competitiveness of the home and lifestyle sector through the use of sustainable materials that are abundant in the country and by applying innovative technologies that boost the value of these materials.
