Sketching the main lines of the project at the school where the experience occurs describing and problematizing the work developed in these workshops, specially, the one of Capoeira and Music workshop which works about an afro-brazilian thematic. The thesis looks for to analyze the tensions existents between the official knowledge transmitted in school and the traditional one made on the popular culture universe. There were made interviews with members of the scholar community principal, teachers, workshoppers, members of the Pedagogical Council as well as students and relatives with the objective to rebuild the beginnings of the activities related to brazilian culture at school and to check the unfold of the approach that values the contributions of afro-brazilian culture. The objective was analyzing in what measure occurs the integration between the systematic knowledge and cultural workshops; if teachers at school demonstrate accepting and recognizing the work proposal with afro-brazilian culture as a component at curriculum contents and, more, if they have noticed changes on the way that the students organize their convictions about the presence and the contribution of afro-descendants in our culture. On children part it was intended to identify how they catch and reorganize information came upon workshops which have as thematic afro-brazilian culture and if, in any way, afro-descendants students accept much better the presence of black-cultures building their identities. On white-children part it was wanted to observe if the approach employed at these workshops has produced changes relating to the amplification on their original cultural repertory. Relating to the family, it was tried to captivate how they accept the proposal offered by the school: working with cultural diversity. Therefore, we have used theoretical reference offered by the curriculum critical theory, based on authors like Apple, Giroux, McLaren, Sacristán, as well as some contributions from Canclini to comprehend better the introduction of traditional cultures at the global capitalism context.
