This project aims to assess how Brazilian community health agents’ critical awareness of the social determinants of health
was enhanced and led to a greater understanding of the major structural changes necessary to sustain health promotion
initiatives. Educational workshops inspired by Paulo Freire’s ideas on critical pedagogy were delivered to 82 community
health agents in three Brazilian cities. The workshops utilized evocative objects to link and develop participants’ conceptual
and experiential knowledge. The participants exchanged connections and experiences and created hypothetical action plans
to be implemented in collaboration with community members. The discussions were audio recorded, transcribed verbatim,
and submitted to content analysis. The connections provoked by evocative objects were related to required assets for the
development of a healthy community. As social advocates, they are already committed to a social movement for health equity
to catalyze a more equitable distribution of social goods, promote social inclusion, and liberate communities.
