The present work is about the Popular Culture Movement (MCP). The Movement was created in the city of Recife, State of Pernambuco, Brazil, in 1960, inspired by the French Movement "Peuple et Culture" and had as its central objective the emancipation of the people through education and culture. With a popular educational proposal aimed mainly at impoverished communities in Recife, the MCP began to be developed and also to develop an education that sought to contextualize its teachings with the knowledge and life practices of the students. During the article, we first bring the creation and what the MCP was. We also approach the theoretical foundations of popular education, popular culture and social movements. Finally, we bring the performance of the MCP in the peripheral communities of Recife, the methodologies developed by the Movement and its expansion. This article was developed from a documentary and bibliographic methodology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
