VIEWS OF SOUTH MOZAMBIQUE BY A BRAZILIAN GEOGRAPHER

Abstract

This article was produced with information collected from March to April 2014 when we were participating in the internship related to the Project: Social practices and knowledge of women and men and the production of rural territory in the Marracuene District in Mozambique: viability of productive alternatives in the world of sustainability with the approval of the CAPES / AULP notice. The cartography of the fieldwork showed the richness of the Mozambican people and the contrasts that exist in the southern part of the country. In addition, we present some demographic data from the provinces, understanding that this information serves as a basis for teachers to use in the classroom, since the existing teaching material about the country in Brazil is incipient. Finally, the role that science / research provides in people's lives is evident, as they were fantastic experiences of exchanges between Brazilian and Mozambican researchers during the project period and the fruits generated will remain in the academy for a long time
