NASCIMENTO, Rafael Baioni do; AMORIM, Mônica Maria Teixeira  and  SILVA, Edson Carlos Ribeiro. The use of pedagogical workshop in the mediation of conflicts caused by gender stereotypes and sexuality in school: reflections based on an experience report. Pesqui. prát. psicossociais [online]. 2020, vol.15, n.2, pp. 1-19. ISSN 1809-8908.

School education has a considerable role in the formation of subjectivities, and in this context educational work operates in the maintenance-transformation of attitudes based on prejudices and stereotypes of gender and sexuality. These attitudes are present in the daily life of schools and, not infrequently, are motivators of conflicts in the relationships between their subjects. Supported on the important role that school has for deconstructing prejudices and labels, we present the experience report of a graduate student in history, who used a pedagogical workshop as a tool to mediate conflicts caused by gender and sexuality stereotypes. Based on this student's reflective experience, in dialogue with queer theory and with authors who discuss conflict resolution and the application of pedagogical workshops, we indicate how interpersonal conflicts can be important opportunities for learning democratic attitudes and values and for ethical training of students, as well as demonstrating that pedagogical workshops present themselves as quite adequate tools for this work.

Keywords : Gender and sexuality; Basic education; Educational workshops; Interpersonal conflicts.
