18:15–18:30 Testimony

Testimony from an inspiring initiative (Togo)

Ambroise Kodjo Troveh

After an apprenticeship experience and then employment at a French laboratory [ITGA], Ambroise discovered the risks associated with asbestos. This realization led him to question the situation in Africa, and more specifically in Togo, and above all, how to take action. On stage, he looks back on his journey, his commitment, and the birth of a meaningful initiative.
