Abstract

This study aims to reinforce the potential and contributions of including the expanded concept of health in pedagogical activities and in the school environment, from an interdisciplinary perspective. It focuses on the social determinants of health and was formulated in 1986, during the 8th National Conference on Health - and the perception of health as a right guaranteed by the Brazilian Federal Constitution. The teaching of the principles and guidelines of the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS) and the communication strategies for the formation of citizenship in the classroom are one of the paths presented by the work, which investigated the teachers' knowledge regarding the subject. For this, content analysis of questionnaires completed by the teachers participating in the Pedagogical Workshops of the eighth edition of the Brazilian Health and Environment Olympics of Fiocruz, held in 2016 in various regions of the country, was performed. The Pedagogical Workshops of the ninth edition of the same Olympics, which ended its activities in November 2018, was also an object of study For this, texts elaborated in a pedagogical intervention applied by the author during the workshops of Textual Production in the cities of Içara (SC ) and Ponta Porã (MS) were also analyzed. The meetings addressed, in addition to the importance of choosing sources of research and of textuality elements, the expanded concept of health; the convergence between the fields of health and the environment; the principles of the SUS, and health as rights, in the context of the Sustainable Development Goals. Based on the results, which envisaged the formation of teachers as a fertile way to reach the insertion of the aforementioned themes in the classroom, a product was developed to facilitate and allow teachers access to the contents made available by Fiocruz in regard to education. The product is intended for the use in pedagogical practice and in the school environment.
