Abstract
<p>Health education plays a pivotal role in promoting a culture of well-being and empowerment among individuals. In Brazil, the creation of a health-promoting culture faces various challenges that demand a holistic approach. Rather than being limited to the mere transmission of information, health education should be contextual and encompass a blend of educational and environmental practices. Effective health education integrates communication, education, and active engagement of the students, aiming to restore individual autonomy and empower individuals to make choices conducive to their overall well-being. This shift from conventional education to a more interactive and inclusive approach is crucial for fostering positive health outcomes.</p>
