Dr. Eduardo Mondlane (June 20, 1920 - February 3, 1969) an educator, nationalist, and leader of the Mozambique independence movement, was born in the Gaza District of Southern Mozambique. He was the child of a Tsonga chief, the fourth of sixteen sons, and the only one of his family to receive a primary education.

He attended several mission primary schools and worked as a shepherd for part of his youth before obtaining a scholarship to attend a Presbyterian secondary school in Transvaal, South Africa. He was admitted to Witwatersrand University, he was expelled from South Africa because his views came into conflict with the government’s apartheid policies.

He was accepted into the University of Lisbon, Portugal but transferred to Oberlin College. He obtained a BA in Sociology and Anthropology from Oberlin College and completed a Ph.D. in Sociology from Northwestern University. He became the leader of Frente de Libertacao de Mocambique, He always made education for young Africans one of his foremost priorities, creating scholarship opportunities for Mozambican children in education.

He moved to Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, where he became president of FRELIMO, With the backing of the Soviet Union and many African nations, FRELIMO launched a guerrilla war against the colonial Portuguese government to win Mozambique’s independence. With him as president of FRELIMO, the campaign for independence was a campaign for a socialist state.

He was killed by a bomb which had been disguised as a notebook and sent to him by unknown assassins. FRELIMO continued to fight for independence. On June 25, 1975, FRELIMO was given control of Mozambique and the country gained its independence. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence

Reflections on Art and Education: Shaping Social Change” with Jacqueline de Montaigne and Marcela Nacif

On a beautiful September morning, CreativeMornings Lisbon drew an impressive crowd to the stunning Jardim das Oliveiras at the Centre Cultural de Belem. Making the most of the Portuguese autumn sun, guests mingled in the garden set against the backdrop of the Tagus River and iconic Ponte 25 de Abril, one of the city’s most recognisable landmarks.

A Saturday morning edition didn’t deter the creatives who turned out for one of our biggest meetings, with delicious empanadas served alongside energy drinks by @SAVG and coffee by Lavazza to keep those attending nourished and refreshed before our talk began. As the presentation opened, we learned this month’s global theme, chosen by the Oklahoma chapter of CreativeMornings: Reflection.

The speakers in Lisbon would share their unique reflections on art, education and social change. The first speaker, Marcela of Brave Generation Academy, took us on a journey through her vision for education. She believes a change is necessary and that initiatives, creative thinking and technology are the way to deconstruct our concept of what “education” means.

Four years ago, Brave Generation Academy – an NGO set up to make education more effective and successful - created a hub, led by people who believed education needs to change. Instead of having a building with classrooms, they realised (thanks to technology), you could spread classrooms around the world. Instead of having just one teacher, it might be more helpful to have two: one who looks after the academic curriculum, while the other motivates the best version of the student to emerge. Brave Generation Academy created hubs around the world, with thousands of students in 9 different countries. Learners study online, through a synchronous programme. Brave Generation Academy allows education to be more effective and accessible to learners, and empowers learners who couldn’t access education before, to see it’s not that hard to make education accessible. “We realised we can democratise education. If you have internet access and the will to learn, you can.”

The idea, Marcela explained, was to not make profit, but to convert cashflow into scholarships so anyone who wanted to go could attend. And so, over 300 entry scholarships were created, alongside non-profit initiatives including a not-for-profit hub. The ethos of BGA centers the students. Their projects include a hub in a refugee camp in Kenya, a program for students from Gaza, and a refugee camp in Congo. For those who are fleeing war and trauma, underfunded education systems that offer little prospects are not uncommon. By teaching refugees digital skills, in a hub that fosters a sense of community while following an internationally recognised curriculum, Brave Generation Academy helps to empower learners to build their own path: taking control of the learning process at their own pace. Marcela then posed an important question: Without educated young people, who will rebuild countries that have been torn apart by war? Without them, perhaps no one. “It’s not that hard to change education, we just have to change our mindset.”

Next, we heard from the artist and activist Jacqueline de Montaigne, who has painted murals around the world: many of which are used in social initiatives. Jacqueline uses guilding in a public way - with a minimal amount of paint, reducing the eco footprint – to tell stories through symbolism. Her art brings natural and figurative elements to an urban context, to create a fascinating juxtaposition of (what we might think of as) opposing forces.

Although she grew up in a household of activists, her journey as one began upon the birth of her second son. There was no one in the hospital that could help to provide guidelines or evidence-based information about baby feeding. Through this experience Jacqueline became involved with social change at a policy level, to help change national guidelines and train national forces in how to feed minors in the event of a national emergency. Her activism focused upon the correct marketing and labelling of baby formula products, while her artistry has seen her paint murals to raise awareness about breastfeeding.

Jacqueline has also painted refugee camps with educational murals, which break through language barriers. Her work with murals began when she painted a small one at Lisbon’s Lx Factory, and she discovered she was hooked. She decided to use this medium as a platform for social good, to bring awareness to issues using non-invasive paste-ups that can be removed by sponging off afterwards. She was the first Portuguese woman to be ranked globally for her mural painting. However, during her presentation Jacqueline also brought our attention to the challenges faced by women who want to become full-time artists: less than 3% of artists can afford to live off their work, and in the global market, less than 2% of work is allocated to women. But she left us on a hopeful note, as her work has led her around the world, having special interactions with normal people who have become the muses of her murals. “Regardless of age, there’s nothing to stop you following your dreams. The impact we can have on other people’s lives is massive.” And with that, our CreativeMornings guests returned to the sunny Lisbon afternoon a little lighter.

Annual fees for studying medicine in Bosnia average between 6,000 and 10,000 euros, depending on the university and program.

In addition, Bosnia's affordable living costs make it an ideal destination for students with limited financial resources. Accommodation, transportation and daily expenses are affordable so that students can comfortably manage their budget during their medical studies.

Quality Medical Education

Despite affordability, the quality of medical education in Bosnia is not compromised. The country has several prestigious universities and medical schools that offer MBBS programs in English and attract a diverse international student community.

Bosnia's medical universities follow the European Credit Transfer System and ensure that curricula meet international standards. The programs are designed to provide in-depth theoretical knowledge and practical experience through clinical rotations and internships. Students receive hands-on training under the guidance of experienced faculty, preparing them for the challenges of a career in medicine.

Recognition and Accreditation

Another important consideration when choosing an MBBS program abroad is MBBS recognition and accreditation. education degrees medical degrees from Bosnian universities are recognized by the Medical Council of India (MCI), which allows Indian students to practice in India after obtaining a foreign medical degree (FMGE).

Bosnia is also a signatory to the Lisbon Recognition Convention, which ensures, that degrees from Bosnian universities are recognized in many countries around the world. This recognition opens up opportunities for graduates to continue their studies or apply for jobs in different countries, making the Bosnian MBBS degree globally portable.

Multicultural environment and student support

Studying medical studies in Bosnia offers more than an affordable education. The country is known for its multicultural society, which welcomes students from different backgrounds and nationalities. This diverse environment increases cultural understanding, promotes global friendships and prepares students to work in an increasingly interconnected world.

Bosnian universities also offer extensive support services to international students. From orientation programs and academic advising to assistance with visa procedures and housing, students can rely on dedicated support staff to facilitate a smooth transition and ensure their well-being throughout their academic journey.

Scholarships and Financial Aid

Additional supports for international students Some Bosnian universities offers scholarships and financial aid programs. These opportunities help deserving students with limited financial resources to continue their medical education in Bosnia. Prospective students are encouraged to familiarize themselves with these opportunities and familiarize themselves with the eligibility criteria and application procedures well in advance.

Conclusion

Fernando Pessoa: Office Worker, Occultist, Galaxy of Writers

By Benjamin Moser on July 13th, 2021

PESSOA A Biography By Richard Zenith

The emergence of Fernando Pessoa as one of the world’s great modern writers, one worthy of Richard Zenith’s monumental new biography, has been nearly a century in the making. When Pessoa died in 1935, his family found one of the most sensational literary treasures to come to light since Lavinia Dickinson discovered 40 notebooks in her dead sister Emily’s chest. In the kind of featureless trunk used to store blankets or winter coats were 25,000 pages of writings.

Some of these works were complete. Most were not. It was hard to know what to do with this legacy, or even what it was. Pessoa’s handwriting was notoriously bad, first of all. He wrote in both Portuguese and English, the product of a South African childhood. But the most mystifying thing was that he didn’t seem to be a single person. He was a whole galaxy of writers — heteronyms, as he called them, with entirely different personalities and different, often radically conflicting, views on poetry, style, nature, politics and the antique. If they were all the creations of the man named Fernando Pessoa, the variety of the dozens of heteronyms made it hard to say who Pessoa himself was.

When his prose masterpiece, “The Book of Disquiet,” was published in Portuguese — this didn’t happen until 1982 — the edition immediately, inevitably became controversial. Some questioned the editors’ arrangement of the hundreds of fragments that make up the uncategorizable book. Others tried to distinguish between those that were written by Bernardo Soares, the professed author of the later sections; those by Vicente Guedes, who began the work; and those by Pessoa. These were harder questions to answer than they seemed — because technically, of course, Soares, Guedes and Pessoa were the same person.

If much was inscrutable about Pessoa, one thing, as these scraps emerged, was not: He bore that indescribable something that only the greatest geniuses possess. His singular brilliance was all the more remarkable because nothing on the outside suggested it. At his death, he was a writer of strictly local renown who published a single book of his Portuguese poetry in his lifetime. He was a routine office worker who, after his return from Africa in 1905 — his stepfather was a consul in Durban — never again left Portugal, and indeed hardly ventured more than an hour outside Lisbon. Yet he turned out to be an entire world of bewildering richness, an eccentric master (or masters) who inevitably attracted biographers. They started rummaging soon after his death. The first biography appeared in 1950, already 700 pages long. Its author, João Gaspar Simões, wrote that when he met Pessoa for the first time, he “was struck by how his feet hardly seemed to touch the ground, as if he were suspended by a wire hooked to an invisible nail.”

If some figures are smudged by passing time, Pessoa has grown steadily sharper. Time was needed to bring him back down to the ground — to piece together a full picture from the contents of his trunk. Zenith, an American resident of Lisbon, brought to the task a depth of scholarship gained through more than 30 years of publishing, translating and promoting his subject’s work; Pessoa, who had few intimates in life, is lucky to have found this posthumous friend. Zenith’s book is long, though not much longer than the biography published 71 years ago, and if it includes facts that were already known as well as facts that have come to light, its real merits lie elsewhere.

The first might be regarding Pessoa’s ambition. In contrast to Emily Dickinson, who seems to have been genuinely indifferent to the survival of her work, Pessoa wanted to be read. He was nearly obsessed with this problem, constantly drawing up plans for publication, starting magazines (the most successful lasted two issues) for his own work, and even, in a catastrophic quest to become a publisher, squandering a handsome inheritance that would have freed him from years of paying rent. He was ambitious, sometimes to the point of grandiosity. In his first published critical essay, titled “The New Portuguese Poetry Sociologically Considered,” he announced the arrival of a Great Poet to surpass even Luís de Camões, Zenith writes: “He did not mention that this presumptive Great Poet was himself.”

The second attainment of the book is the homosexualization of Pessoa. It has long been obvious to gay readers that Pessoa was one of them. (How many straight men write long lachrymose poems about Hadrian and Antinous?) His orientation has often been hidden — for the usual reasons, but also because his relationships were platonic; Zenith tells us that he died a virgin. Another reason may be that the popular image of Pessoa, derived from a handful of scrupulously expressionless photographs, makes it tough to associate him with any kind of sexuality at all. Zenith brings a nuanced understanding to this question, and describes how the poet finally sublimated his erotic yearnings into a mystical chastity.

The early 20th century was pyretic with fascination for the occult, the paranormal, theosophy, Rosicrucianism, kabbalah, séances, mediums, astrology and dreams; if most of the productions that emerged from this movement now seem whimsical at best, Zenith shows how Pessoa transformed a trendy amateur interest in occultism into an enduring art. For him, the heteronyms were not so much invented as they were manifested — like the dearly departed in a crystal ball, or an ancient soul conjured from a Ouija board — poised somewhere between heaven and earth. Not quite real but not fake either, these creations have, instead, the heightened reality of literature.

The poet’s struggles with his sexuality, his inability to finish projects, his swings between grandiosity and depression, his splintered sense of self: All of this sounds awfully familiar to anyone who has studied alcoholism. So, of course, does Pessoa’s death at 47, as an old man, his body wasted by drink. Yet in a book filled with so much highly informed psychological speculation, Zenith mostly steers clear of this aspect. He calls Pessoa’s failure to publish “inertia,” for example. But Pessoa was anything but inert; he was alcoholic. Zenith’s avoidance of the question is, alas, all too common in contemporary biography. If the taboo surrounding homosexuality has been broken, the taboo surrounding addiction remains.

What remains, too, and what matters, is the work. Zenith describes it as “a sprawling yet increasingly unbuilt city, whose builder was so busy laying the foundations for new structures that almost nothing rose higher than one or two unfinished floors.” This is accurate. Unlike so many writers, who built a nicely furnished house or even a neighborhood, Pessoa really did build an entire city. Incomplete — hieratic — chaotic: but a city nonetheless. It was a city that needed a guide. Thanks to Zenith, it has one at last.
