The report describes the Project “Conexão Felipe Camarão”, that takes place in community Felipe Camarão, in Natal  –  Rio Grande do Norte. The initiative is carried out by Associação Companhia Terramar, a non-governmental organization that deals with the integral development of children and youngsters and the dissemination, preservation and valuation of the culture of the community, in particular of the immaterial assets. The experience includes art and culture workshops for children and young people, mounting and showing spectacles, discussion on subjects of public interest, handcraft and partnership with schools and cultural spaces. This last aspect – the partnership with schools and cultural spaces – has a fundamental role in the actions of the project, since education is faced as an ally to promote the preservation of local culture. This is, therefore, an experience report on the actions of a project that successfully relates education and culture, describing the interactions between the community and the schools that comprise it.
