The course has lasted two months and has got a theoretical and practical aspect, with discussions, group dynamics, roleplaying and problem solving activities, movies and also a practical activity in the classroom. By means of an evaluation of the course and interviews, we noticed changes in the way teachers interact with students when the topic was sexuality, reflections on the issue, and review of teachers position as sex educators.
