Abstract

This article addresses the theme of quality of life, highlighting its interconnection with health promotion and education. The concept of "quality of life" is analyzed across various dimensions, incorporating physical, emotional, material, and social aspects, as defined by Del Pino (2003), who characterizes it as a set of components including physical, material, social, and emotional well-being, and personal development. The 1986 Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion is historically relevant for introducing health promotion as an empowering process centered on the individual and the community. Health promotion is presented as an approach that enables individuals to act upon the determinants of health, emphasizing education as a fundamental resource for addressing health-related social challenges. The 2030 Agenda is mentioned, highlighting Goal 4 - Quality Education, which seeks equity and inclusion in learning environments. The need for a pedagogical approach that transcends conventional teaching is emphasized, incorporating values, skills, and the promotion of lifelong learning. Scherer and Scherer (2012) highlight the importance of developing values and skills in students to face contemporary challenges. It is argued that education can catalyze the promotion of quality of life and health, positively impacting communities and societies. By critically analyzing current educational models and articulating them with the principles of Freirean pedagogy, this article advocates for a transformative educational approach that transcends traditional models, contributing to an inclusive learning environment and effectively promoting health and well-being.

Mauricio de Azevedo Valentini, Universidade de Franca

My academic and professional journey is marked by a profound commitment to education and a passion for health promotion.
I graduated with a degree in Architecture and Urban Planning in 1995 and began my career in higher education in 1997. After graduating, I expanded my knowledge with a post-graduate specialization in Marketing and Sales, a degree in Art Education, and a Master's in Linguistics. This diverse academic background has been instrumental in my development as both an educator and an individual in a constantly changing world.
In 2002, in addition to my teaching duties, I took on the responsibility of supervising Unifran's social media project. This was an innovative and adaptive approach for its time, allowing me to explore new ways to engage students, faculty, and administrative staff by effectively integrating technology into the educational process.
In 2017, as the coordinator of the Architecture and Urban Planning and Visual Arts programs, I responded to institutional changes and curriculum updates by focusing on strengthening the academic community. My goal was to prepare everyone for the adoption of active methodologies to create a more enriching educational experience.
My interest in health promotion began with a focus on "healthy cities," which later evolved to creating healthy pathways for physical activity. Ultimately, this led me to focus on education as a primary tool for health promotion, underscoring my understanding of the vital role the environment plays in community well-being. It was through this integrative approach—combining my knowledge in architecture, my experience in marketing and sales, and my passion for education—that I was motivated to develop a device that could enhance the classroom structure, transforming it into an instrument for promoting health.
