LAGES, Sônia Regina Corrêa et al. The intervention experience made by a group of Psychology students in a public state school in Minas Gerais. Gerais, Rev. Interinst. Psicol. [online]. 2012, vol.5, n.2, pp. 334-344. ISSN 1983-8220.

This work reports on an experience made by psychology students from a university of Minas Gerais during basic internship. The experience was carried out at a public state school, in a rural area. The activities were designed to reflect on the theme of diversity and culture as a political tool for the appreciation of minority cultural identities. The results show that the school is not prepared to handle cultural diversity and indicates the necessity of investment in actions which improve the relationship between school and students. The results also show the importance of this learning experience for the building of a critical view of the Brazilian reality by psychology students.

Keywords : Public School; Prejudices; Cultural Diversity; Collective Identity.
