On Children’s Day, curiosity took the lead at Beluluane Industrial Park as over 100 students from Beluluane Primary School stepped out of the classroom and into the world of industry for a day of discovery and excitement. The visit was attended by distinguished guests, including the wife of the Governor of Maputo Province, Olinda Tule.
Held on 1 June 2026 and organised by MozParks with support from MozYouth and ETG, the visit gave Grade 6 and Grade 8 students the chance to explore different industries, understand how workplaces operate, and discover a wide range of career opportunities for their future.
These opportunities became clearer as students visited three companies within the park. At Beleza (Godrej), they saw how synthetic hair products are made at scale; at Sunshine Nut Company, they followed the journey of the cashew from local farms to global markets; and at GLOPOL Topack Mozambique, they learned how plastic production supports local industry growth.
The experience was further enriched through guided tours and interactive activities, including simple psychometric assessments for Grade 8 students, helping them reflect on their interests and strengths in a practical way and think about future careers.
“It was a pleasure to open the doors of our industrial park to students from Beluluane Primary School. This is more than just a visit, it is about showing Mozambique’s future generation that real opportunities exist in our country. Seeing their curiosity today reminds us why this matters. We want them to understand the different types of work available and to see themselves as part of these industries in the future,” said Onorio Manuel, General Manager of MozParks.
By the end of the day, what began as a Children’s Day celebration became a moment of inspiration, with students leaving more aware of opportunities around them and more curious about their future.
