reflections on the training of educators from an intervention experience in school Psychology

Abstract

This experience report describes and reflects on a school psychology intervention project carried out in a state school in São Paulo. The project aimed to promote discussions about gender and sexuality and their implications for the schooling process. The methodology adopted was to hold alignment meetings and ten reflective meetings aimed at discussing topics such as: interpersonal relationships, different ways of understanding reality, the construction of judgements based on prejudiced and discriminatory understandings, the school as a space for guaranteeing and defending rights, the naturalisation of violence, social roles, gender identity, sexual orientation, and nonbinary language. At the end of the work, a Letter of Commitment was drawn up proposing reorganisation practices and building strategies to confront the violence produced at school. It was concluded that the work carried out allowed participants to reflect, develop, and plan strategies committed to recognising and valuing the diversity that constitutes us as a society.
