Abstract

This text presents the impacts of an outreach activity carried out by the Homosexual Citizenship Center of the Federal University of Pernambuco (NUCH-UFPE, in the Portuguese acronym) in 2018. Based on discussions about gender and sexuality, NUCH offered the outreach course "Gender, sexuality and education: theoretical perspectives and struggle movements". The course aimed at establishing debates in educational spaces with the understanding that the pedagogical practices, the curriculum and school institutions produce inequalities. In this sense, it is understood that outreach activities contribute so that theoretical discussions on issues related to gender and sexuality go beyond the school environment. The outreach course stimulated debates and academic productions during the meetings with teachers of basic education, undergraduate students, and members of NGOs and social movements, building theoretical and political possibilities in order to highlight and reflect about inequalities and differences.
