EMANCIPATORY SEX EDUCATION AND CRITICAL THINKING: REFLECTIONS ABOUT EDUSEX GROUP KNOWLEDGES AND DOINGS

Abstract

Reflections about part of the EDUSEX Group's 30-year journey Training of Educators and Sexual Education at the State University of Santa Catarina in raising awareness of those involved in formal and non-formal educational processes, subsidizing the rescue of their capacity for critical thinking about the context, in interfaces with sex education. Synthesizes the meaning of sex education and emancipatory sex education via dialectical socio-historical materialism as the basis of concrete possibilities for the construction of intentional emancipatory sex education projects, with two examples: the results of the mapping stage of the knowledge production conditions on the category of sexual education in Post Graduation Programs in Brazil and the results of doctoral internship on Aveiro University, in community radio programs with interfaces between emancipatory sex education and critical thinking.
