1 ] Mo ld ing the po l i s through the commun ity rad io
“A community radio is an institution for information with the vocation of letting the community receive the necessary
information, the information that is important for its conviviality,
for its interaction, it is an institution that creates an opportunity
for the people to interact with one another and with other people at the international level”.
2 ] Users ’ eduta inment exper ience with the rad io
“In the radio what I like the most are informative programs, as for example programs about sport, about information of what happens at the local level, as well as at the national and the
international level, I also like more programs for children, other
programs as music ones, I like entertainment in this case.”
3 ] Learn ing in format ics at the te lecentre
“It is important because we learn to know what a computer
is, we learn computer programs, we study the computer as well, but it is much more a honor for Xinavane, we now
know that we have informatics courses.”

“Most of all about a g r i c u l t u r e… which is the official period to seed, which is the one to harvest, what is going to happen to the fields, what the farmers has to prepare for the field to be
productive… how the g l o b a l c h a n g e will be… it was difficult to have this information before”
[Radio user, non-user of the telecentre]
“The community radio has e d u c a t i o n a l programs, and also
the part about news. The n e w s are at an international level. When they broadcast, everyone pays attention, because they have programs in Portuguese and programs in the Makwa language, so the communities understand very well.”
[Radio & Telecentre user]
“Usually I listen to the programs for c h i l d r e n , a program called Mikitxe Txuhalake Mokwa. This program is about…
when someone d o e s n o t u n d e r s t a n d something, they can call to the program and say they don’t understand that thing, and the program informs them.”
[Radio user, non-user of the telecentre]
“Because I think it’s a learning centre […] It is worth doing, from
here they come out as p r o f e s s i o n a l s that will serve this country .”
[Radio user, non-user of the telecentre]
“By volunteering people learnt that volunteering is a good
thing, because they learn a j o b . It encouraged young people to have the will of working.”
