Abstract
It is essential to develop activities that promote the promotion of healthy dietary patterns and the regular practice of physical activity, in order to increase morbidity and mortality related to chronic
non-communicable diseases. Since the school environment was considered favorable for the inclusion of these large-scale actions, the "Little Hearts Changing Lives" (LHCL) program was idealized for
children. Employing Creative Learning concepts additionally incorporates some of the strategies drawn from participatory research methods and the use of validated tools that potentially sensitize
the target audience during workshops for educators. In the expansion phase in the United States, this program was then directed to the Brazilian immigrant population through Training Workshops for
educators in Framingham and region. A total of 18 educators were considered, in two modules with distinct themes, totaling 10 hours each. The prevention of risk factors for cardiovascular diseases
was proposed through the methodology described in the LHCL manual. We have observed that the strategy proposed by the LHCL can contribute to increasing the knowledge scope of these
professionals, as well as offering didactic and pedagogical tools that can facilitate the process of learning by the children.
