This paper presents part of the data collected in a survey that aimed to analyze the contribution of Slam poetry to the recognition and understanding of the theme of Human Rights. It also discusses the construction of Life Projects for adolescents and young people in compliance with socio-educational measures of internment. The investigation was carried out in a Socio-Educational Care Center for Adolescents in the interior of the State of São Paulo/Brazil. The analysis is based on historical and dialectical materialism. Action-research was used in the form of workshops as a research technique, in which there was an appropriation of Poetry Slam techniques. The action research had 17 workshops, structured in 04 phases. For data analysis, the methodological procedures of the Meaning Nuclei (AGUIAR; OZELLA 2006, 2013) were used. During the communication of this experience, it is intended to share the powerful movements unleashed in the fourth phase of the action research. At that moment, in possession of their authorial poems, the teenagers constructed their performances to be presented in a great poetic event, a poetry slan. This phase proved to be significant, as adolescents were able to reveal their existence through their bodies and words in a unique way. This fact contributed to break stigmas that demean, marginalize and segregate these social groups, opening spaces for emancipatory movements of the being.
