Purpose: LeME (Statistical Multimedia Literacy)Tranforma will be implemented at the Centro de Convívio Meninos do Mar (CCMar) which is located in the city of Rio Grande, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. CCMar is a school dedicated to the professional training of young people between 14 and 17 years old, who are in a situation of social, economic and environmental vulnerability, coming from underprivileged communities. Project Objectives: Contribute to the pre-professional training of young people served at CCMar, including complementary actions to develop research skills and critical data analysis, through statistical literacy.

Mode of implementation: LeME Transforma aims to promote young people to researchers with a focus on social transformation allied to the assumption of new professions, through active, playful and interdisciplinary pedagogical practices. It seeks the Statistical Literacy of young people, so that they can read, autonomously and critically, the statistical information that is conveyed in society. LeME Transforma is justified on the basis of high rates of school dropout, as well as those referring to vulnerable situations of families, in the context of low income and the maintenance of their permanence in school. LeME Transforma extends and enhances actions, by seeking the emancipation of young people, empowering them to take on new occupations, through the development of LeME in parallel and articulated with pre-professional courses.

Outcomes: The project is still in the initial implementation phase and we do not have results to be released at this time.

Challenges: We foresee that the challenges we will face are: constituting the team of professors for the implementation of LeME, the engagement of students who are the target audience of the project, achieving the objectives proposed by the project.
