The workers face changes in labor relations or even the extinction of these, as a decrease in jobs due to the Industrial Revolution III or the precariousness of labor itself. In this context, elements such as cooperation, solidarity through self-management and economic action, principles of solidarity economy, arise as opportunities for work and income. The research has as its main axis the foundations of Solidarity Economy (ECOSOL) and its importance in the development of the Culture Economy in Foz do Iguaçu. For this, Maracatu Alvorada Nova, the first Maracatu of Foz do Iguaçu, was chosen as the object of study. Through an exploratory, bibliographical, documentary and field study research.

This will verify the importance or relevance of applying the ECOSOL principles to the organizational evolution of this cultural initiative, as well as the relationships and articulations used to strengthen this solidarity enterprise.
