Testimony“They were becoming aware that the approach intended with this module was not what they initially thought, because it is not a medical-biological approach but an approach that seeks students to internalize values. Thus, the conversation that was established between teachers and students was giving shape to the dimension of the word sexuality.” (Teacher, 6th grade class)
