We present an educational health experience in Sexuality and Family Planning, carried out jointly by health care professionals in a Health Care Center and by teachers at a Job Training School within its area, with three groups of students, mostly adolescents. Four sessions were conducted: Sexual education: sexuality and health. Sexual relations. Family relations. Family planning. Evaluation of the previous sessions. In each session, there was a presentation made by the teacher/expert, after which working groups of 4-5 students were formed. Finally, everyone came together again to discuss their work. In each session, several group techniques were used to motivate a higher degree participation, lower inhibition, and deepen mutual contacts. Results have been positive, both for students and teachers, with an increase in knowledge, a variation in attitudes towards the subject, and because it was something different from everyday studies.
