Global Citizenship in Fisheries and Aquaculture

English - French

Mozambique is a beautiful country in south-eastern Africa with diverse people, many natural resources, a history of colonization, a recent long civil war, several recent natural disasters, and a pandemic of AIDS. However, it is also considered in many ways to be an African “poster country” for improvement and international assistance that is making a difference.

Students start by examining the history of Mozambique to better understand the Mozambique of today and to think critically about how they view Africa. Topics considered in the next lessons range from colonization and human rights to climate change, with a particular focus on how these affect real people – in particular the rural poor that depend on fishing.
