Alimata Coulibaly Kindo from Burkina Faso: "With natural refrigerants, we can save energy, protect the ozone layer and contribute to global development. The protection of the environment concerns us all."

Astou Coulibaly from Senegal: "Trust in the ladies! Because the world of vocational training is not a world of men only. It is a place for everyone".

Djénébou Alpha Diallo from Mali: "I want to deepen my knowledge so that I will be able to improve my lessons when I am back in my country and be able to coach my students better".

Sokhna Fall from Senegal: "When technicians understand the safety measures, for me there is no limit to the use of natural refrigerants. We all know that we are destroying the environment. Natural refrigerants are therefore more than necessary for us. First of all as technicians, who handle the refrigerants. But in general for the whole population, who needs to be made aware about what their refrigeration appliances contain".
Extraordinary: The Team

Thanks to the excellent interpreters Ellen LeFoll (on the picture) and Fiona Scuiller everybody could follow Reiner's explanations in French.

The training was organized and financed by the project "Refroidissement respectueux de l'Ozone et du Climat en Afrique de l'Ouest et Centrale" (ROCA). It was also a possibility for the project staff from Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Germany, Mali and Senegal to meet for the first time in person. Find out more about ROCA by clicking on the photo.

Experiment: boiling water that freezes

Excellent: The group in front of Bundesfachschule Kälte-Klima-Technik (BFS)
“What we have learnt here is enormous”, said Allan Mitchel, a refrigeration technician from Grenada. Get some impressions from the Cool Training that took place at the Bundesfachschule Kälte-Klima-Technik (BFS) in Maintal, Germany from the 4th to the 14th of October 2022.
In June, sixteen cool(ing) engineers from Latin America took part in this year's first Cool Training in Maintal, Germany. Our photo gallery shows some impressions.
