Divulgação sobre a Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais para alunos de escolas públicas da região metropolitana de Belo Horizonte

Entrance to a Brazilian public university still has been considered an almost unattainable goal for many high school students. Besides, it is extremely surprising that many of these students do not know the actions to be taken to gain access to higher education. Within the context of a lack of information, the project Grupo de Estudantes que Multiplicam e Transformam Ideias (GEMTI) developed educational activities that enabled students from Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG) and students from public schools of metropolitan area of Belo Horizonte to exchange knowledge among them. It was conducted by reading scientific articles, meetings with the group, audiovisual technology and questionnaires.Through the interventions it became clear that there is a gap in the education system. Thus, the GEMTI team believes that the outreach actions contributed positively to give them opportunity to reflect and to obtain knowledge as well as contributing to improve their professional future and the students as well.
