One of those actions is developed by a griot, telling stories about her African ancestors and how those stories have survived for centuries in Brazil. The aim of this article is to describe the activities done by this griot with our projects connected to Border Pedagogy and Aesthetics of Ginga conceptual proposals. By telling stories and making workshops, the griot implements those concepts by promoting perceptions and significations related to concepts of difference, diversity and cultural heritage, as positive characteristics that constitute our society and, through it, the recognition that all these hues create the identity of our local population. The griot allows us to affirm the importance and surveillance of the oral tradition, renewing concepts as difference and cultural diversity, which allows to realize the multiple character of identity and the relevance of education as a praxis that could be transformer and in constant transformation.
