The new educational settings of the 21st century introduced a more critical comprehension of sexuality and gender. It is possible to find these elements in some methodologies and discursive practices founded in day-to-day experiences. This research article presents the implementation of a gender school created to develop an out-of-the-institutional-scope pedagogy, non-hegemonic, that meets the need for alternative ideas in regards to gender and sexuality. Such school is named Escuela Gimnasio Multicolor, and its configuration entailed the reconceptualization of gender as a social and cultural construction based on Donna Haraway's hypothesis of situated knowledge. The proposal of a dialogic pedagogy on topics such as identity and body was developed through activities such as informal and non-conventional educational encounters, workshops, conversations, among others. Moreover, it is important to highlight the place that respect and others' recognition occupy when creating a gender school.

Keywords : school; gender; pedagogy; sexuality; body.
