    Reuse, Reduce, and Recycle Plastic Waste. Over time the use of plastic has severely contributed to environmental, social, economic, and health threats to our home Earth. The truth is that our planet is choking on plastic and it's time to change how we produce, consume, and dispose of the plastic we use. Currently, Nigeria generates approximately three million tonnes of plastic waste yearly, posing a severe threat to our environment. Three million tonnes of plastic waste? Shocking right? Don't be surprised, the one you disposed wrongly amounts to that figure. If your action could contribute wrongly to the threat facing us today, trust me, your right action to stare down on plastic pollution would uphold the global goals envisioned by the United Nations. So, dispose that waste properly. As part of our effort to create awareness on reuse, reduce, and recycle plastic waste to have a good atmosphere, we at ARTvocacy Movement took on the reflection wings with the theme: ARTmosphere (uniting creative art to achieve a greener future). We had a practical section with the Eco who taught us how we can make an ottoman (Nigerians call it a side stool) from Cocacola Now pet bottles and cartons. We are on a mission to make waste management a reality. Many thanks to Ogechi Nwonye- Bernard, Emmanuel Abanobi, and SLANG Global

    “The Enugu edition of celebrating SPF at 15 yesterday, January 27th, was a success! It's truly special to witness and celebrate growth, and we're delighted to have been a part of this milestone. We made the gathering fun by presenting a gift for two, and the atmosphere was filled with a 'basket-full' of delightful edibles. Gratitude to SPF and the artvocates in Enugu for orchestrating this event. 💯 Happy anniversary once again. SLANG Global offered us a beautiful venue.” Thank you. #StreetProjectFoundation #happyanniversary❤️ #SPF #Artvocates #Enugu #hangout #SLANGGLOBAL #creatives

    SLANG Global Year in Review - 2023 🌟 As we bid farewell to another remarkable year, we'd like to take a moment to reflect on the incredible journey that has been 2023 for SLANG Global. It's been a year filled with exciting endeavors, meaningful partnerships, and unforgettable experiences. 🌍 Connecting Cultures: Cuba & Mexico City Our journey began with outreach trips to vibrant Havana and other cities in Cuba, as well as the enchanting Mexico City. These trips allowed us to foster connections with local universities, embracing the rich tapestry of Latin American culture and heritage. 🤝 Partnering with the Spanish Embassy 🤝 We're thrilled to announce our partnership with the Spanish Embassy in Spain. This collaboration has opened doors to new opportunities and strengthened our commitment to promoting the Spanish language and culture. 🎉 Memorable Events at El Centro Cultural Azúcar 🎉 Our cultural center, El Centro Cultural Azúcar, has been the heart of our activities. We hosted a myriad of successful events, including the Achikolosalsa Dance – a fusion of Salsa with a unique Nigerian twist. We were also privileged to witness "Ancestral Music: A Performance with 'Une' Musical Bow" by the talented Maestro Celestine Maka-Chukwu Ogwudile. Not to forget the numerous captivating book readings in partnership with the Enugu Literary Society. 🏛️ El Centro Cultural Azúcar: A Gem in Enugu 🏛️ Nestled in the heart of Enugu, Nigeria, El Centro Cultural Azúcar continues to stand as a remarkable space where cultures converge and creativity thrives. It's more than a center; it's a cultural haven. 🙌 Acknowledging Our Valued Partners 🙌 We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our partners, including the Enugu Literary Society, the Embassy of Spain, and many others. Your unwavering support has been instrumental in our journey. 📢 Join Us on Social Media 📢 We invite you to stay connected with us on all social media platforms @slangglobal.
