UBUNTU PROJECT
The Ubuntu project, inaugurated by Master Neto in Manaus, Amazonas, is a remarkable capoeira project that goes beyond the practice of martial art. In addition to teaching capoeira, the project promotes values such as respect, discipline and social inclusion. Through capoeira, it offers a safe and inclusive environment at its own headquarters to people of all ages, emphasizing equality and diversity. In this sense, capoeira is worked in an inclusive way having as practitioners children, adolescents, adults and the elderly.
Dedication to capoeira inspires a mentality of growth and excellence, enabling students to pursue not only success in martial art, but also in life, where these values translate into conscious, compassionate citizens and committed to the positive transformation of society.
Coordinator: José Neto de Castro (Mestre Neto)

1st Wheel of Knowledge: Capoeira, Culture and Resistance
The 1st Wheel of Knowledge: Capoeira, Culture and Resistance proposes an enriching meeting between capoeiristas and the Manauara Community, promoting workshops and round tables that exploit the cultural and methodological diversity of capoeira.
This project, carried out in the city of Manaus (AM), values capoeira not only as a physical and cultural practice, but also as a symbol of historical, social and cultural resistance, representing the struggle against oppression and the preservation of Afro-Brazilian traditions.
The initiative aims to strengthen the bonds between practitioners, disseminate knowledge and promote social inclusion, emphasizing the role of capoeira as an instrument of transformation in people's lives and cultural preservation.

Sound of Capoeira: Instruments that tell stories
The Som da Capoeira Project: Instruments that tell stories seeks to preserve Afro-Brazilian culture, teaching the manufacture of traditional Capoeira instruments, such as Berimbau, Pandeiro, Reco-Reco, Agogô and Atabaque, through practical workshops open to the public.
The initiative promotes social inclusion, accessibility and entrepreneurship, involving various audiences, such as capoeirists, artisans, musicians, percussionists and young people in vulnerability, to use the instruments as a source of income and cultural valorization.
With measures such as accessible infrastructure, free registration and audiovisual and photographic records, the project strengthens the local cultural market, fosters the creative economy and encourages the perpetuation of popular knowledge, creating a sustainable cultural and economic legacy for the city of Manaus (AM) and region.
