Sexuality and education: the Counseling Center and Youth Guidance (CAOJ) of Coimbra, Portugal, as a training space

Abstract:

This paper aims to report the experience of training volunteers to intervene in the National Project of Education by the Partners of the Portuguese Foundation 'Community Against AIDS'. The methodological approach used was everyday life research, looking at teachers' ongoing training, everyday school experience and the truth regimen shared about sexualities, mainly by the LGBTTI community. The Portuguese experience is considered relevant in order to reflect on the absence of discourses that promote the debate on other possible lives within the school, based on the teachers' training both in Portugal and in Brazil.
