More than 100 students have held a kiss-in in a central plaza of the Chilean capital as part of a peaceful protest demanding education reforms.
Pairs of university and high school students locked lips in front of Santiago's Metropolitan Cathedral on Thursday while passersby stopped to watch. Some onlookers applauded.
The kiss-in marked a humorous break from mass student and teacher protests that have at times sparked violence and police crackdowns.
Protesters plan more large-scale protests next week.
The students are demanding higher quality and more equitable education.
