EDUCATION, GENDER, SEXUALITY AND DIVERSITIES:

THE EDUCATIONAL ROLE OF LGBTQIA+ NON-SCHOOL INSTITUTIONS

Abstract

This text elucidates a discussion on gender, sexuality and diversities from the perspective
of non-formal education, led by non-school institutions, such as those of LGBTQIA+ representations.
Through bibliographic research, based on gender studies, mainly, we discuss gender as a concept
that emerged in the spaces of feminist movements, with the objective of differentiating the way of
being of men and women, therefore, expanding the discussions on the theme implies an educational
process that does not end at school, but that involves other institutions that defend the interests of
the various categories. In addition to the schools, many Non-Governmental Organizations - NGOs
have been busy discussing the inclusion of LGBTQIA+ and educating through non-formal education,
betting that both the school and the other spaces of coexistence focus on respect and appreciation,
of gender and sexual diversity.
