REPORT OF AN EXPERIENCE WITH ADOLESCENTS FROM A SCHOOL IN THE CITY OF SANTA CRUZ DO SUL

Abstract

The following paper is an experience report of workshops developed by the Academic League of Psychiatry at the University of Santa Cruz do Sul (LAP-UNISC), with adolescents in elementary and high school from a private school in the city of Santa Cruz do Sul. With the Covid-19 pandemic and the suspension of face-to-face classes, the dynamics were adapted to the virtual environment, in order to continue providing spaces for dialogue and reflection on various topics relevant to the public. In general, the workshops were well received and evaluated by the students, with most claiming that they provided reflection and that they would participate again in other workshops of the Academic League of Psychiatry. It was perceived that the activities contributed to stimulate reflection on the proposed themes and discussions among the students. With regard to the adaptation to the virtual modality, losses and/or obstacles to the workshops were not observed, possibly due to the students' familiarity with the platform used, since the classes were taking place in the same virtual space.
