NU LAKOT NU LAVWA

Over two Saturdays – 30 May at Flic en Flac and 6 June 2026 at Le Morne – CEDTI co‑animated the first pilot edition of Nu Lakot Nu Lavwa, a community engagement initiative under the Nairobi Convention and the RECOS project, co‑financed by the French Development Agency (AFD) and the French Fund for the Global Environment (FFEM).

​

At both coastal sites, CEDTI presented a mini‑exhibition titled Zistwar Lakot – a visual journey through historical and aerial photographs of the coastline, inviting observation, memory, and dialogue. This was followed by a talk session where the public exchanged directly with specialists.

​

The expert panel included :

• Carina Gounden – Coastal protection (MRU 2024)

• Nicolas Paturau – Senior architect, urban coastal development

• Arshad Mamode Khan – Senior urbanist

• Zyaad Boodoo – Environmental and sustainable development

​

The events were co‑organised by the Indian Ocean Commission (COI) in partnership with Dynamia and the Indian Ocean Islands Foundation (IOIF).
