About Associação Lêcomigo

Our mission is to promote connection between people from different sociocultural realities through books. Whenever we can bring a book into the hands of a child and this book can foster a passion for reading, we fulfill our mission. We are partners with PYE GLOBAL (Partners for Youth Empowerment) in Brazil and we endorse its goals of strengthening teachers and other leaders to support creative communities that help change lives. At the center of the PYE training is the Creative Empowerment Model, a set of artistic empowerment practices and tools for facilitating group leadership. LêComigo endorses The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development of the United Nations. Since its founding, LêComigo has fulfilled Objectives 4, 10 and 12 of the Agenda, which emphasize the urgency of inclusive, equitable and quality education and the reduction of inequalities. LêComigo was born out of an idea had by three teenage siblings. Which evolved into a story that has at its core youth protagonism. In these politically and socially challenging times in Brazil, where a significant part of the country’s youth struggles to find a good perspective for the future; LêComigo stems from active youth citizenship, where young people come together to discover, debate, question, and transform.
