ABSTRACT
Health promotion is a care strategy in Primary Health Care (PHC) that must see health as a social-historic dynamic permeated by social determinants. Moreover, PHC aims to promote the quality of life, reducing vulnerabilities and health risks related to determinants and conditions of health. There are groups in health territories that require actively search and integrative care of health services, due to their condition of vulnerability. This experience report presents the use of Culture Circle, as proposed by Paulo Freire, as a tool for health professionals to approach a family agroupment in a vulnerability situation in the territory of a Health Care Unit located in the peripherical region of a city in the south of Brazil. This strategy strengthens the bond between health workers and patients, amplifying empowerment and access to health and dignity, concurrently to the involvement of team workers with Popular Education in Health.
