Empowering Brazilians
Bridging the Knowledge Gap by Educating Youth and Adults on Electoral Processes.
- The SoleTRE Project, led by TRE-MT, promotes citizenship and social inclusion through literacy for young adults and previously uneducated individuals.
- Since its inception in 2019, the project has successfully served 153 voters, offering classes that run for four to five months at the Regional Electoral Court.
- Data from electoral records highlight a significant need, with 85,714 illiterate voters identified across Mato Grosso, including 4,150 in Cuiabá.
- The initiative plays a crucial role in educating and empowering individuals who have not had prior access to formal education, contributing to their understanding of electoral processes and civic engagement.

Impact of SoleTRE: Empowering Through Education
SoleTRE continues to empower individuals like Mrs. Maria by providing them with essential literacy skills and access to educational resources, fostering personal growth and empowerment.
Volunteer Perspective: Maria Luiza Miorim
Maria Luiza Miorim, a dedicated volunteer teacher at SoleTRE since its inception, emphasizes the project’s impact on student autonomy and democratic engagement.
- Promoting Autonomy Through Literacy
According to Miorim, SoleTRE empowers students by teaching them fundamental literacy skills. Learning to read and write enables them to independently navigate daily tasks like using public transportation and reading product labels.
- Empowering Voters
Miorim underscores that literacy acquired through SoleTRE enables voters to make informed decisions during elections. They can confidently read and understand the names of candidates on the ballot, contributing significantly to the consolidation of democracy.
- Contributing to Democratic Consolidation
By equipping individuals with essential literacy skills, SoleTRE plays a crucial role in strengthening democratic practices and fostering active civic participation among its participants.
