This paper presents the research results of an Information Science research experience focused on planning and building an information mediation model for the purpose of providing theoretical and methodological support to encourage social leadership among a community in the northeastern of Brazil. This paper focuses specifically the production of the mediation model from the theoretical foundations emerging during the research. This trial deploys mediation of information and the social paradigm of Information Science. At the core of this model, studies were aimed at the development of actions focusing on otherness and performed for and with the subject. The methodological approach may be described as a participative research of a qualitative nature. Results indicate that the dynamic planning and execution of the information mediation model enabled the enhancement of social leadership in the subjects studied, who appropriated information, while using it for social, economic and political emancipation.
