The Municipal Department of Education in Maceió, Brazil, is continuing its 'Expresso Leitura - Livros em Movimento' project in 2025 [2, 5]. This initiative aims to enhance literacy and promote citizenship among youth, adults, and the homeless within the central area of Maceió [2].
The six-month project provides access to reading materials, educational support, reading circles, book loans, and legal assistance [2, 3]. Semed collaborates by providing teachers and technicians from Ejai, who conduct classes and guide potential students through enrollment [2]. The Central Library Carlos Moliterno contributes with reading sessions and book lending [2].
Upcoming sessions are scheduled for May 9 and June 13 at the Espaço Cultural da Ufal, located in Praça Sinimbu, from 9 AM to 12 PM [2]. The initiative seeks to empower vulnerable populations by offering educational opportunities and essential resources, ultimately aiming for long-term positive change [2, 3].
