This work aims to search and list the cultural manifestations in Roger's neighborhood, João Pessoa, Paraíba. It also aims to make a relationship between the social condition of poverty in the neighborhood and the importance of education and culture to promote critical reflection and the construction of belonging for young people in this place. The choice of this population for this study was not random. It is understood, according to Historical-Critical Materialism, that there are strong traces of capitalist exclusionary power and the conception of hegemonic and subaltern classes. Studies and publications were consulted that expose adversities experienced in the near past (1958 to 2003) by children, young people and other residents and workers in the region. The people of Bairro do Roger live not only from fights and clashes. There is space for joy, celebrations and lots of relaxation among these residents. The most experienced are responsible for governing and passing on the importance of enhancing and cultivating local history, through cultural, religious and sports movements, which are strongly disseminated in this population. The main cultural manifestations found in the neighborhood were: Samba Schools, Demonstrations of African Matrices, Capoeira, Quadrilha Junina, Religious Feasts, Ala Ursas and Tournament of Rings.It is concluded that education, along with the culture of Roger's neighborhood, favors critical thinking and social belonging, which enhances the recognition of the citizen as the maintainer of community and individual rights and duties. Recognizing oneself helps in the recognition of others, generating respect, empathy and understanding of the social diversity in which people are inserted.
