[https://www.empowermentbamboo.com/]WELCOME TO THE BAMBOO SPACE OF THE NEW ERA In June, several of us attended the European Bamboo Expo [https://europeanbambooexpo.eu/] in Dortmund, Germany. It was a very big success - mainly because it brought together people interested in the benefits of bamboo who had never physically been to a "bamboo event" on a continent that has long grown bamboo ornamentally yet only now shows real desire to create a bamboo industry for utilization. There I met Ulla Schuch for the first time. Ulla is an amazing woman who served as the "master of ceremonies" at the Expo, the moderator, and the instigator on the stage who created a memorable rapport with her audience. She is also the mastermind behind the German Garden Academy / Deutsche Garten Akademie [https://www.deutschegartenakademie.de/]. Afterwards she approached me with the idea to start a series of podcasts & online workshops focused on bamboo. And so now, it begins! Empowerment Bamboo [https://www.empowermentbamboo.com/] has launched the preliminary website. Please take a look; this is a great opportunity for you, as bamboo practitioners, to be a part of this new movement. WBO is collaborating fully with Ulla and her team. There will be a podcast every Saturday morning! and take part in the Online Cooperation Congress taking place from 17-19 November. Please sign up to receive the Empowerment Bamboo newsletter. [https://deutsche-gartenakademie.mykajabi.com/empowerment-bamboo-news] Let's work together with Ulla and Empowerment Bamboo to educate, share, collaborate, network and promote the benefits of bamboo globally! Thank you. Important Dates: September 18 : World Bamboo Day [https://worldbamboo.net/world-bamboo-day] all around the world! How will you celebrate?
