The present paper presents the action-research path with the group of vine producers that get together in the Movimento Interestadual de Cipozeiros e Cipozeiras - MICI , (The Vine Producers Interstate Gathering), in Paraná and Santa Catarina. I present themes related to the collective identity formation of the vine producers and their ways of action in the articulation of the defense of their fundamental rights. Since the beginning of the research in Design, in 2006, some premises of this area are focused when related to the traditional communities, bringing to the reflection on their way of acting within contexts which local problematics present sui generis complexity. So, the results of the research in Design and the strategies of investigation on the local conflicts are presented. These local conflicts are much related to the restriction of free access to the territory traditionally occupied, to the restriction of the free access to the natural resources - of historical use of the vine producers -, and to the repression ways that represent the usurp of their fundamental rights as well as the exploitation of the handicraft. I consider, therefore, that such problematic makes us rethink the Design action, in other words, the Design praxis. Also, the ways of action, articulation and political formation make us think and re-mean the articles produced by the vine producers in their material culture, demonstrating their creative potential through the objects that translate their speech and reflect the perception on their conflicts and rights. I expose here the reflections by the epistemology of a social educative Design.
