Laboratórios vivos como estratégia de aproximação entre o ensino de ciências e a promoção da saúde

Abstract

This study aims to propose a new relationship between education and health based on the methodology of living laboratories, based on the experience of the Social Technologies and Environmental Education Project for Vector Control of Arboviruses: promoting health and quality of life in the Semiarid Paraibano, the Zika UEPB Project. The research presented here aims to build a booklet, based on participatory methodology, to help and motivate students and teachers to understand the experience of the Living Laboratories and their potential for discussing education and health in the classroom environment, as well as in society. This study and the product made possible by it are justified by the need to provide innovative training processes that favor the education-health interrelationship and the development of processes, techniques and technologies that can be socially appropriate, in order to contribute to the experimentation of a an environmentally healthier and socially fairer lifestyle.
