Abstract

I argue here that education means appropriation of the cultural heritage of humanity by all social layers of the population; the culture of a country is more than what can be taught in schools and through textbooks. To support my view of the relationship between education and culture, I resorted to the work of the Italian-Brazilian architect Lina Bo Bardi (1914-1992), who perfectly understood the meaning of these two concepts, which she applied to the Brazilian population. Through the analysis of the change of use for Solar do Unhão as a museum and a Popular University in Salvador, state of Bahia, and of the setting up of a pedagogical project at a Leisure and Sports Center in the SESC of Pompeia Factory in São Paulo, including classes and cultural activities, I could identify how to value the diverse forms of culture emanating from the people and the unconventional education applied to this same people as something that makes sense to the political and cultural formation of a nation.

Keywords: education; cultural practices; Lina Bo Bardi.
