The following report shows my internship experience in the Bilingualism for Peace program belonging to the Universidad de Córdoba, Colombia in which 23 students between the ages of 11 and 15 who are in intermediate level participate. The goal of this internship is to introduce students to social justice issues such as gender equality and the rights of LGBTIQ+ communities through the second language. To carry out this process, the following question is asked: How can I include anti-racists topics in my EFL class? The development of the classes is done with a focus on critical pedagogy, anti-racist pedagogy and Problem based learning that allow to create a pleasant environment, where the student feels comfortable expressing their ideas. The results show significant development in critical thinking and respect of students toward other people.
