Abstract

The official data realize that publics policies of gender are effectively implemented in Brazil since 2003. In Rio Grande do Sul, the actual government has been the most active and caused major changes in this area. As teachers of the Psychology Course of ULBRA TORRES and militants in fighting of differences of gender, we decided to investigate what has been done in the context of gender education in universities. We questioned about the guidelines of education and how much they include the discussion and reflections on the theme gender between students of higher education. Our intention with this work is to go beyond of research, planning strategies for teaching gender in the universities is a possible reality and that promotes in academic space the dialogcity with the community social space. This dialogue which aims through University Extension Project Cinderella is Taking Ideas. Using the theatre as an instrument for teaching and discussion of gender among students and community. Throughout the work, we present the project and make a discussion of this topic though an action – research, supported by The Gender Theory and Social Psychology History Critical.
