Abstract

A research to evaluate the development of participatory and action-oriented sexuality education projects in schools (7Th to 12th grades) (n=16), with the use of ICT will be described with the following objectives: i) to discuss the creativity of students’ visions regarding how the world and their lives could be, and how society and the environment could be improved in relationship to their particular sexual concerns; and ii) to characterize the type of actions carried out to solve their sexual problems. Participant observation, group interviews and materials put online by students were selected as research techniques for the triangulation of data. The principal results showed that these students thought creatively to formulate visions and develop, individually or collectively, reflexive actions, which lead to positive changes in their lifestyles, and/or living conditions, which improve their sexuality.
