We want to reveal the stories of Maputo, told by young people, whether they are journalists in training or at the beginning of their careers, or simply storytellers looking for a space to exercise their creativity on a platform open to the world.
For over 10 years, RADAR has been tracking news related to ideas, creativity, and innovation, from Maputo to the world and bringing the world to the Mozambican capital. But this time, we are opening a space dedicated to the lives and experiences of the people and places of Maputo.
If you are between 18 and 35 years old and have a keen eye for events, we want you to bring the world into the avenues, streets, and alleys of the Maputo metropolitan area (including Matola, Boane, and Marracuene), where you will find extraordinary people and places that need to be seen for their value, from the familiar that reinvents itself to the totally unknown that surprises. Tell the stories that will connect anyone to the capital where Mozambique (re)discovers itself and connects with the world.
The Maputo section is looking for stories written creatively, without being fiction. Tell the facts in an engaging way—the way you would like to hear a story that interests you. Whether they are news items, short reports, or chronicles. We also accept articles in multimedia formats, accompanied by a description.
Maputo is undergoing a complete transformation. The city breathes a new rhythm, made up of technology, environment, people, and dreams that intersect in the streets. The stories that are born here do not necessarily speak of young people, but they start with them: with that restless gaze that tries to understand what will happen. To speak of Maputo today is to speak of the future, a future in motion, which we want to learn, feel, and build together.
