The Tutorial Education Program (PET) has the duty to provide students with conditions to carry out extracurricular activities. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to present the teaching project entitled: “Abre a Mente PET” (Open Your Mind PET) , developed by the students of the PET Dentistry group of the State University of Maringá (UEM). For the execution of this activity, the members of the group are divided into groups of four to five people who will present, in four different days, varied themes, which go beyond the teachings contemplated during graduation. Each team is responsible for inviting a person who has theoretical knowledge of the subject they will present, so that they have a better argumentative and explanatory basis during the debate. Each day, the responsible group must make a quick presentation, in an expository way, and, afterwards, a debate on the theme is opened between PET members and members of the community in general, with the help of the group's guest.  The discussions held so far have been enriching for our group and community, stimulating critical thinking and bringing knowledge that is not contained in the curriculum. In this way, “Abre a Mente PET” represents an important tool to trigger changes in the critical and interdisciplinary training of those involved, through searches for current topics that are relevant.
