ABSTRACT
The space for discussing sexuality in schools is limited, even with the perspective of preventing Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs). On demand from a high school, students linked to the Tutorial Education Program of the Psychology course and the STI/AIDS Prevention Pole Extension Project held workshops with adolescents. The objective of this project was to dialogue about sexuality and promote discussions for the prevention of STIs through 9 workshops, with the participation of 18 students. These workshops were evaluated using two questionnaires and the data were treated in three axes: Workshop Evaluation - Methodologies and Facilitators; Assessing Adolescents as Multipliers and Assessing the Theme Importance for Adolescents. It was concluded that the workshops provided a means to promote STI prevention behaviors, to encourage the responsible exercise of sexuality and enabled the formation of bonds between facilitators and adolescents.
