Summary/Abstract: This article contemplates the thematic of juvenile interculturality under the scope of information and communication in order to reflect about the cultural identities and expressions of the young in the working classes of Brazil. It begins with a reflection about the concept of interculturality in the context of the mundialization of societies and cultures. Next, the results of a research conducted along with young inhabitants of slums and suburbs are presented, as well as complements about the access and use of new information and communication medias for the dialogue and the intercultural symbolization. The conclusion is that interculturality, understood as an encounter, a singularization and a hybridisation between different cultures and knowledges is, above all, a matter of affirming rights, creating territories and recognizing different identities.
