Introduction: According to the International Conference on Health Promotion, held in
Ottawa, Canada, in 1986, Health Promotion consists in the process of empowering the
community to act to improve their quality of life and health, including greater
participation in the control of this process . Thus, actions aimed at Health Promotion
have their pillars in aspects that permeate quality of life. Currently, radio is a popular
medium that makes up the daily routine of Brazilians, with the diversified and playful
language that has increased its popularity over the last few decades. In this way, the
dissemination of health education through the local radio program will contribute to the
formation and development of people's critical awareness in relation to health
problems, as well as to stimulate the search for a solution and the organization for
collective action, so that everyone becomes agents of transformation in the community.
Objective: Disseminate information on health, environment, well-being and leisure to
residents of the Transamazônica and Xingu region. Methodology: This is an extension
project, which was carried out through a partnership with Rádio Vale do Xingu FM 93.1
MHz, located in the municipality of Altamira-Pará, and addressed health education
activities with the aim of bringing riverside community, rural and urban community
information focused on health, well-being and leisure. In addition to publicity on local
radio, the project's publicity platforms included the most used social networks at the
moment, such as: Facebook page with Web-radio, Instagram and Telegram group. The
radio programs, educational campaigns and other activities carried out by project
members were publicized.
