Owner of the same characteristics of the members from the favela Mangueira, for being from humble origin, this consecrated samba performer became a symbol of social cause. The objective of the research in the workshops literary production: to weave the imaginary were to analyze how the literary texts intervene, positively, in the trajectory of individuals who are in situation of social vulnerability. The proposal aimed at to stimulate the creation and the reading of fictional texts, making possible that the narrative was a vector of reconstruction of the individual and the collective. The research, structuralized on operative bases and action could detect possibilities where the imaginary presents itself. The interaction by means of speaking, writing and drawing stimulates the imagination and the reflection, influencing the collective and the individual on their own construction and world. The research in the CCCartola, an excluded community of Afro-Brazilian origin, shows that samba is the largest "host agent", where individuals develop potential through socio-educational activities.
