This work investigates the decolonization possibilities of education in schools, taking into account the inequal biopolitical urban development and the creative resistences of the valuable cultural knowledge of the favelas. The favelas of Brazil are popular self-built neighborhoods created by the defense of the «right to the city», through multiple practices and processes. Different authors see them as a product of rapid urbanization, but few point out their cultural wealth, linked to the oppressed Afro-Indian-American tradition present in them. This work shows that favelas are also spaces of resistance and creation of the common and that new forms of intercultural education, based on cultures of rebellion, can enrich the school's relationship with these neighborhoods. The data collection methods used for this analysis were: bibliographic study; participatory and active observation; and semi-structured interviews, carried out during the 2018-2019 period in neighborhoods (barrios) Estrada das Barreiras (Cabula), Curuzu (Libertad) and San Martin (Fazenda Grande do Retiro) in Salvador de Bahia.

Keywords : Culture of rebellion; decolonization of education; favelas; right to the city; Salvador de Bahia.
