Abstract:
Integrative and Complementary Group Practices (Group PICs) are medical and therapeutic systems of health care aimed at developing the bond and integration of the human being with the environment and society. In this universe, we identify some guided by the participatory perspective, whose intention is to foster a pedagogical work based on the vivences and experiences of each person, such as: Circle of Culture, Tent of Tale, Theater of the Oppressed, Integrative Community Therapy, Art Therapy, Circular Dances, Biodanza, among others. These practices are based on the dialogic, participatory and emancipatory dimensions and seek to integrate the different knowledge, vivences and practices of the participants. In this sense, popular education can be guiding these actions, since, based on a dialogic relationship, it presupposes that people are both participants and constructors of reality. Thus, itryes to promote dialogues between professionals and / or users of basic health care services, so that they have autonomy over their health-disease process. In this direction, this work aims to report an experience of the Tent of Tale in the context of the formation of Community Agents
/ health workers (ACS's), in participatory methodologies, as well as the senses and narratives produced in the group process. The Tent of Tale is a participatory methodology in which people tell life histories and experiences based on a biographical object, which refers them to some memory of pain or joy. Participated in this study are ACS's who work in the primary care teams of the Family Health Strategy (ESF), in the district of São José da Mata, in the city of Campina Grande (PB). In terms of theoretical-methodological orientation, we opted for participant research through the action-research strategy, as a strategy of analysis, we use discursive practices and the production of meanings. In this way, we systematized axes of analysis and categories, which were articulated with the theoretical referential discussed throughout this work. We note that the Tent of Tale is a very useful tool for working ACS teams, as it is an opportunity to narrate and re-signify their life experiences, at the same time that they can be used in actions of health education at the community level, towards practices that stimulate the autonomy of the subjects.
