Looking at the reality of Mozambique, ASEJANA’s objectives are strategically aligned in 3 andragogical angles, namely:
Angle 1: Literacy and Integrated Youth and Adult Education.
Angle 2: Knowledge-oriented Environmental Education; environmental attitudes and behaviour from a cross-cutting and holistic perspective.
Angle 3: Access to food from a nutritional perspective looking at the direct impact of climate change on their lives especially on food production and the ancient practice of fire, among other environmentally deplorable aspects and good local environmental practices.
In its intervention process, ASEJANA uses INTEGRATED APPROACH, meaning it brings together the functional components of learning, best practices and community experiences, current issues and community projects.
Currently we are working in the Environmental Literacy Project in Maternal Languages (PALMA and in specific cases of environmental problems such as drought, floods, fires, deforestation; Open defecation; Non-resilient construction of houses for housing, Erosion; Sanitation of the environment and Pollution of water and air will be methodological, themes that will be addressed in the learning manuals and in the brochures to be prepared within the scope of PALMA.
