This article consists in a descriptive study, in the form of experience reports, of the actions developed in an UFMG (Federal University of Minas Gerais) extension project on the revitalization of the Ribeirão do Izidora Basin, in Belo Horizonte. Intersectoral actions of management and environmental education are developed and implemented in one health center and twelve municipal schools with the objective to contribute to health promotion and improvements of life quality to the assisted population, within an ecosystemic health approach.
