Abstract This paper presents a study of non-formal education in Ponta Grossa City - Paraná State. The research aims at describing and analysing three projects of non-formal education. The data were collected through interviews and questionnaires completed by the coordinators and teachers involved in the projects. It was possible to establish that the projects had a flexible curriculum and applied innovative methodologies towards the construction of citizenship. It concludes that the function of non-formal education projects is not to reproduce the same activities as at formal school, but to develop the citizenship of the participants through access to culture, arts, leisure, and information.

Keywords : Non-formal Education; Curriculum.
