Methodology of health promotion from the operation of the School Council

Abstract

The article deals with the issue of health promotion, which is highly relevant in view of the complex epidemiological situation faced by the country, as it provides the means to improve health and exercise greater control over it. For this reason, a methodology is presented, aimed at contributing to health promotion in Primary Education based on the functioning of the School Council. It highlights the relationships established between the different educational agents and agencies of the school to promote the health of primary school children, through the integrated and active action of the family and the community in the life of the school institution. The methodology also highlights the stages of the School Council's operation, as well as the spaces, processes and contexts of educational integration and the ways to be used for health promotion in Primary Education.
