Abstract

Scientific Initiation (CI) activity plan for a scholarship holder who is part of the FAPESP thematic project Vulnerabilities of young people to STIs, HIV/AIDS and dating violence: evaluating a psychosocial intervention based on human rights (FAPESP 2017/25950-2). The study will be carried out in the schools in which the subject worked, and will follow the sustainability activities of prevention actions against STIs, HIV/AIDS and literacy in sexual and reproductive rights in these school communities. The aim is to understand the role of teachers in the literacy of young people in this prevention in relation to school normative content, laws and regulations applicable in São Paulo. The research will have two stages. The first is documentary research on the normative content (National Curricular Base, Pedagogical Political Project, Paulista Curriculum). The second will be empirical, semi-directed interviews with teachers who plan and carry out prevention actions and literacy in sexual and reproductive rights.
