This article articulates approaches between Community Psychology and the educational context, based on the experience gained on an academic extension project held in a state school in Florianópolis. Through the theoretical basis of Critical Social Psychology and Social-Community Psychology, the project carried out activities with 4th grade elementary school children. Hinged on the theoretical postulates and rooted in the ethical and political aspects, we aim to problematize the demand brought by the school in the need to work with the so-called "problematic students" and consequently with the "problematic class". We have demonstrated how it was possible to promote a movement to deconstruct stereotypes, promote (re)significations and loosen the bonds of control and discipline, using, as tools, the Theatre of the Oppressed, photographic workshops and ludic elements of the child’s story. Finally, the text proposes a reflection about the responsibility of Psychology in the dynamics of power relations in the educational context.

Keywords : Community Psychology; School; Art workshops; Theatre of the Oppressed; Experience report.
