这里描述的经验是一个广泛的方案的一部分，该方案旨在激励学校从主题生成器，即，对社区有意义的主题。它是在巴西米纳斯吉拉斯州首府贝洛奥里藏特大都市区的一个城镇Jaboticatubas开发的，重点是血吸虫病。该选择是基于自1960年以来在全国新闻发布会上被称为“血吸虫病之都”的该县这种疾病的表现力和历史流行率。血吸虫病也是教师们指出的一个主题，因为需要更多的信息和方法来与他们的学生一起工作，他们中的大多数生活在传播风险高的地区。此外，在过去几年中，这一疾病通过该地区日益增长的乡村旅游悄悄传播，需要采取综合和有效的控制行动。制定的战略包括四所学校，其教师，学生和家庭参加了这一进程。它强调在一个关键的教学方法，侧重于健康问题的主题，可以动员学校社区和唤醒人口的工作，结合环境，健康和公民意识。结果表明，教师和学生不仅获得了新的知识和方法技能，而且对自己改善健康状况的能力充满信心。因此，该项目促进了批判性教育，可对血吸虫病的控制产生更持久的影响，并为学校和人口带来其他好处。
The experience described here is part of an extensive program that aims to stimulate schools to develop health integrated projects from theme generators, i.e., themes that have a meaning for the community. It was developed in Jaboticatubas, a town in the metropolitan region of Belo Horizonte, capital of the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, and the focus was schistosomiasis. The selection was based on the expressive and historical prevalence of this disease in the county, which has been known as the "capital of schistosomiasis", in a national press release since the 1960. Schistosomiasis is also a theme pointed out by teachers as requiring more information and methodologies to work with their students, most of them living in areas of high risk of transmission. In addition, during the last years, this disease has been transmitted silently through an increasing rural tourism in that region, requiring integrated and effective control actions. The developed strategy included four schools, whose teachers, students, and families took part in the process. It emphasizes in a critical pedagogy approach, which focuses on health issues as themes that may mobilize the school community and awake the population to a work which integrates environment, health, and citizenship. The results demonstrate that teachers and students not only acquired new knowledge and methodological skills, but also gained confidence in their ability to improve their health conditions. Thus, the project promotes a critical education that can result a more permanent effect on the control of schistosomiasis as well as other benefits for the schools and for the population.
