Training in Production of Stabilized Earth Bricks in Dschang, Cameroon

In December 2024, the city of Dschang hosted a training workshop for internally displaced persons from the Northwest region, which is in the grip of the security crisis, and host populations. The workshop participants learned how to produce eco-materials—compressed stabilized earth bricks. 

Organized by the Programme in partnership with the University of Dschang and the Institute of Fine Arts in Foumban, the workshop trained 50 young men and women in using Development Minerals in sustainable building practices. The training included theoretical sessions at the University of Dschang and practical activities at a pilot site, covering topics such as environmental safety in mining, compressed earth bricks production, eco-material techniques, and entrepreneurship. A qualified team of experts, led by Dr. Moussa Charlot, provided instruction, contributing to the implementation of a continuing education programme in Development Minerals in Cameroon.
