The objective of this research was to understand the perspectives of romantic love and romantic relationships produced with women from the University of Brasília in extension workshops. As specific research objectives, three formative extension workshops were held with women from the University of Brasília, which made it possible to identify the formative processes that emerged from the extension workshops, as well as the perspectives on romantic love and romantic relationships produced with women from the University of Brasília in extension workshops. As a starting point, the research presented a critical proposal of conceptualization to the key concepts of the research, which were tensioned in the face of social markers of difference. Furthermore, the dissertation presented the state of the art of the key concepts, as well as a systematic literature review, in which the gaps that this research sought to fill were identified. As a methodological path, this research was supported by research-formation and methodology of history and life narrative perspectives, which supported the construction of extension workshops, which took place between September and October 2021, guided by gameplay and biographical work with objects research techniques. The nineteen women participating in the three outreach events took part in formative processes that build knowledge on the themes of romantic love and romantic relationships in a critical, democratic and horizontal way. From the generating themes, ten subcategories emerged, from the interaction of the women participating in the meetings: (a) technologies of gender, (b) deconstruction, (c) dissidence, (d) violence, (e) affective dependence, (f) religion Christian, (g) healthy relationship; (h) overcoming difficulties as a couple, (i) maternal device and (j) overcoming difficulties. With final considerations, the research demonstrated the need to politicize affections and themes of intimacy in work and university student contexts and constitutes an embryonic step towards the possibility of building a permanent and radical dialogue, through an educational, critical extensionist experience, horizontal and democratic on romantic love and romantic relationship at the University of Brasília.
