Sexual and Reproductive Rights and Freirean Education: The Emergence of Cybercultural Circles

In this thesis project, I intend to understand the weaving of knowledge about Sexual and Reproductive Rights in everyday school life. This research is being developed with the students and the educators in a Rio de Janeiro`s inland public high school. Although Sexual and Reproductive Rights are human rights guaranteed in international documents and national legislation, they are still the target of numerous violations. Methodologically, the qualitative study is being based on the perspective of Research-training in Cyberculture, in a dialogue with the Freirean conception of education, the studies of everyday life, and the intersectional feminist theory. The conversations, the main device of this study, are inspired by the idea of a culture circle, therefore, its relevance is based on the dialogical and ethical character of Paulo Freire's thought, on the consideration of this educator's legacy in favor of Human Rights Education and on the current legislation, because the proposed educational actions are aligned to the prevention of patriarchal violence and teenage pregnancy and in the discussion of sexual and reproductive education in everyday school life. It is expected that the face-to-face conversations and the cybercultural circles, mediated through the use of different devices, may enhance the online education, which was implemented in the context of the covid-19 pandemic, and favor the search for generating themes, the co-creation of zines, and the re-signification of the teaching-learning process of the theme addressed in a collective, collaborative and interactive way.
