This article presents didactic experiments carried out in the field of Cellular Biology, specifically in Cytology, aiming to comply with the procedures of the Brazilian Education Guidelines and Bases Law (1996), which introduced changes in school curricula after the enactment of Law 10.639 / 2003 - Education of Ethnic-Racial Relations, African History and Afro-Brazilian Culture. In this sense, in the first semester in students´ initial training of the Biological Sciences course of the Federal University of Paraíba, a methodology was used with the purpose of applying this Law in an innovative way. As a result, a total of 34 papers were presented by 120 students in panel format and shown to the academic community. They related to the following topics: tissue preparation, Black Population Health, black personalities and cellular structures. The activities were guided by the perspectives of Anti-racist Education and Coloniality/Decoloniality that propose the decolonization of curricula, seeking to overcome Eurocentrism, which is still strongly present within the Brazilian educational system.

Keywords : Cellular biology; Anti-racist education; Curricular innovation.
