Abstract

The Vila Esperança Cultural Space is a project that was created with the aim of give voice and protagonism to historically marginalized individuals and peoples and silenced in Brazil. The project seeks to create a scenario with a differentiated, valuing the collective, diverse cultures and traditions, through Education and Art, whose intention is to offer children a dignified representation of themselves, recognizing and valuing identities anchored in cultures original and ancient. Located on the outskirts of the city of Goiás (GO), the Cultural space Vila Esperança was transformed from a vacant lot into a place full of beauty, with rose bushes, stone staircases, community gardens and fantastic buildings. A "Hope", a rag doll, sits in the window of the tower next to the old house and announces days of games and cultural afternoons full of art, inviting boys, girls, young people and families to populate and inhabit this new Space. Thus, Vila Esperança is a cultural space, with experiences outside the classroom and open the community. The Odé Kayodê Pluricultural School (EPOK) began within the Cultural Space Vila Esperança, at various times in this work, uses the abbreviation EPOK. Located within the Vila Esperança Cultural Space, EPOK was founded in 2004 authorized and recognized by the MEC in 2005, it operates free of charge, with community characteristic, within the Vila Esperança Cultural Space. Teaching goes beyond transmitting content, it involves problematizing what will be applied, Thus, the school can be seen as a space that reflects throughout society the importance of education that goes beyond the mere transmission of information, encouraging critical thinking and the inclusion of different perspectives, which can be considered multicultural. However, it is not enough to recognize or tolerate existing differences, it is necessary to work to give students a place to statement (ARAÚJO, 2017).
