ABSTRACT
The article is the result of analysis of intervention research conducted in an educational establishment located in a peripheral region of the city of Rio de Janeiro and presents reflections on the daily life of Brazilian public schools, analyzing the possible intersections between the demands presented and the poverty criminalization existing in society. It is important to understand how Psychology can act despite school demands in order not to contribute to the context of exclusion and criminalization experienced by students from the lower classes. The intervention is a bet that deviates from the logic of individualization, blaming and judicialization of school life. As a result, the study provided the creation of spaces for reflection for students, allowing analysis of school routine and their experience in society, aiming at the construction of a process of autonomy and inventiveness of young people.
