Abstract
This article aims to analyze and discuss the interfaces between Psychology and Human Rights Education based on the reports of adolescents participating in a workshop-based intervention in the metropolitan region of Porto Alegre. Fifteen adolescents with average age of 13.9 years and different school backgrounds, members of the social project, participated in the study. Data were collected using questionnaires applied before and after the five meetings and field diaries for each of the workshop sessions, and analyzed by means of thematic analysis. The meetings evinced experiences of violation of the human rights of the adolescents, as well as the effects of the intervention in their lives and possible actions promoted by the field of Psychology within this context. This study highlights the importance of developing workshops on Human Rights Education with groups of adolescents as a strategy to share possible violations experienced by participants and to recognize this type of demands.
