During the event, participants highlighted the symbolism of the gesture in the context of Peace and Reconciliation Day, emphasizing the importance of joining forces to create a greener, more inclusive and sustainable creative city.

"Planting is an act of hope. It's a commitment to the future and to future generations. This action reflects the spirit of peace and cooperation that we want to see flourish in Maputo," emphasized Paulo Chibanga, General Director of Khuzula.

The partnership between Maputo Municipality and Khuzula has been developing projects that combine art, sustainability, and tourism, promoting creative and cultural spaces that strengthen the city's identity.
