Adolescent health promotion and the School Health Program: complexity in the articulation of health and education. / Promoção da saúde de adolescentes e Programa Saúde na Escola: complexidade na articulação saúde e educação.

Objective To analyze the context of health promotion with adolescents in the health and education interface focusing on the actions of the Brazilian School Health Program. Qualitative study conducted in 2015 with professionals working in the Regional Executive Coordination IV, in Fortaleza, Ceará. The data obtained in the interview were processed in the ALCESTE program. 17 health professionals and 22 education professionals participated in the study. The organization of spontaneous demand causes disharmony in the scheduled visits and health actions in the school. The difficulties in the implementation of the School Health Program were demonstrated by the lack of knowledge, the lack of planning among the sectors and the different demarcations in the territory. The professionals' lack of knowledge regarding the program and the lack of action planning confirm the disarticulation of the education and health sectors, although they indicate the possibilities of this inter-sectoral practice.

Perspectives of Popular Education in Health and its Thematic Group at the Brazilian Association of Public Health (ABRASCO). / Perspectivas da Educação Popular em Saúde e de seu Grupo Temático na Associação Brasileira de Saúde Coletiva (ABRASCO).

Popular Education in Health (PEH) is a field of knowledge and practices permeated by listening, dialogue, and action. With a set of national experiences and productions, it is a political-pedagogical movement that articulates forces from various social and popular segments, health workers, educators, and researchers in collective health, among other actors. Supported by authors such as Paulo Freire and Victor Valla, among others, PEH has been strengthened in the dimensions of training, participation, management, and health care. Despite the dismantling experienced today in the Brazilian public scene, the PEH Thematic Group (TG) of the Brazilian Association of Public Health (ABRASCO) has been helping to foster, design, and express the voicing of the construction and development of participatory educational and democratic processes in Brazil. This paper showcases the experiences and elaborations of the TG members through the report of the collegiate coordination center members of the last administrations, a period of changes in the political, social, economic, educational and health scenarios, including the influence of the current planetary crisis brought about by the effects of COVID-19, especially in the Brazilian society.

A Educação Popular em Saúde (EPS) constitui um campo de conhecimentos, saberes e práticas, permeado pela escuta, pelo diálogo e pela ação. Com um conjunto de experiências e produções nacionais, é um movimento político-pedagógico que articula forças de vários segmentos sociais, populares, trabalhadores de saúde, educadores e pesquisadores da saúde coletiva, dentre outros atores. Sendo fundamentada por autores como Paulo Freire, Victor Valla, entre outros, a EPS vem sendo fortalecida nas dimensões da formação, da participação, da gestão e do cuidado em saúde. O Grupo Temático (GT) de EPS da Associação Brasileira de Saúde Coletiva (ABRASCO) vem ajudando a fomentar, desenhar e expressar, apesar do desmonte vivido nos tempos de hoje na cena pública brasileira, processos de vocalizações da construção e desenvolvimento de processos educativos participativos e democráticos no Brasil. O presente artigo apresenta as experimentações e elaborações dos membros do GT através do relato dos componentes do núcleo de coordenação colegiada das últimas gestões, período reconhecido de mudanças nos cenários políticos, sociais, econômicos, educativos, sanitários, incluindo a influência da atual crise planetária que vivemos, pelos efeitos da COVID-19, especialmente na sociedade brasileira.

Promoção da Saúde: um posicionamento na perspectiva da educação popular no contexto brasileiro / Health promotion: a stance from the perspective of Popular Education in the Brazilian context

Resumo O texto discute limites, fragilidades e modos instituintes do conceito de Promoção da Saúde em cruzamento com o conceito de Educação Popular como base para operacionalizar ações no campo da Saúde Coletiva. A Promoção da Saúde, em sua evolução histórico-conceitual e sustentação das práticas sanitárias é analisada, toma como base o pensamento latino-americano, na perspectiva da "produção social da saúde". São apresentadas considerações acerca das formas concretas que a Promoção da Saúde adquiriu como ferramenta de intervenção em determinados arranjos institucionais do Sistema Único de Saúde, com foco na dimensão educativa das práticas. Parte da perspectiva da Educação Popular como abordagem comprometida com a produção de processos inclusivos na saúde e com a superação das desigualdades e iniquidades que afetam a vida e a construção da democracia, que, no caso brasileiro, se configurou pela "Educação Popular em Saúde"..

Abstract The text discusses the boundaries, vulnerabilities and instituting modes of the concept of Health Promotion in conjunction with the concept of Popular Education as a basis for operationalizing actions in the field of Collective Health. Health Promotion, in its historical-conceptual evolution and support for health practices, is analyzed based on Latin American thought anchored in the perspective of the "social production of health". Considerations are presented about the concrete forms that Health Promotion has acquired as a tool for certain institutional arrangements in the Unified Health System, focusing on the educational dimension of practices, starting from the perspective of Popular Education as an approach committed to producing inclusive processes in health and overcoming inequalities and inequities that affect the life and the construction of democracy, which, in the Brazilian context, was configured through "Popular Health Education".

O chão(-universo) da Educação Popular em Saúde: saberes e práticas que rompem com o estabelecido / The ground(-universe) of Popular Health Education: knowledge and practices that break with what has been established

Resumo O estudo pretende avaliar a influência das práticas e saberes de educadores populares sobre ações hegemônicas de educação em saúde. Estudo de caso no qual foram feitas entrevistas semiestruturadas com 23 educadores em meio à seleção do Curso de Aperfeiçoamento em Educação Popular em Saúde. Realizou-se análise de conteúdo dos dados, com auxílio do Iramuteq para sua interpretação. A Educação Popular em Saúde apresentou-se como campo articulador de práticas e saberes acumulados em educação, saúde, arte e movimentos sociais, rompendo com fragmentação de saberes, mercantilização do conhecimento e das profissões, além da hierarquia entre saber acadêmico e popular. Ao refletirem sobre ser educador popular, os sujeitos trouxeram suas singularidades como essenciais e o rompimento com a ideia hegemônica de educador. A articulação entre elementos diversos aponta para um universo, por vezes, composto de contradições entre eles. A educação popular em saúde revelou-se espaço que possibilita rupturas com as perspectivas hegemônicas de educação em saúde, ao apresentar-se como diálogo entre práticas, saberes e valores diversos e singulares, que, aberto ao contraditório, se propõe a ser uma construção coletiva.

Abstract The study aims to assess the influence of the practices and knowledge of popular educators on hegemonic health education actions. A case study in which semi-structured interviews was carried out with 23 educators during the Popular Health Education Training Course selection process. A content analysis of the data was carried out, with the help of Iramuteq for interpretation. Popular Health Education has presented itself as a field that articulates accumulated practices and knowledge in education, health, art, and social movements, breaking with the fragmentation of expertises, the mercantilisation of knowledge and professions, as well as the hierarchy between academic and popular knowledge. When reflecting on being a popular educator, the subjects brought up their singularities as essential and the break with the hegemonic idea of an educator. The articulation between different elements points to a universe sometimes made up of contradictions between them. Popular health education has proved to be a space for breaking with hegemonic perspectives on health education, as it presents itself as a dialogue between diverse and unique practices, knowledge, and values, which, open to contradiction, is intended to be a collective construction.
