The objective of this article is to describe the practices and strategies in the teaching of history on the themes of gender and sexuality which were experienced during the application of a project called Project of Gender Sexuality at School (Projeto de Gênero Sexualidade na Escola - PGSE), developed with ninth grade elementary school students and third-year students from EJA (the youth and adult education program) from 2016 to 2018. This project was carried out at the State Elementary and High School Albino Buttner which is located in a hard-to-reach area in the North of Brazil, in the district of Triunfo/Candeias do Jamari, Rondonia. Its objectives were: teaching, educating, raising awareness and discussing with the students and the community about the many forms of discrimination and violence which emerged from the bullying practiced in the school setting, debating, by means of pedagogical resources, learning strategies (songs, dynamics, movies and exhibitions) which contribute to a broader knowledge of homotransphobia, chauvinism, sexism and feminicide, respecting plurality of thought, citizenship and its role in the understanding of difference and appreciation of tolerance.
