Abstract:

Community of Practice (CoP) is a recent term that applies to individuals who share a common goal that can range from a specific theme, a problem or a passion, that learning together and the feeling of belonging to the differentials of this theory can reflect positively on the acquisition of knowledge as a participatory process. This article seeks to ascertain the relevance of building a community of practice for health counselors within the policy of the Brazilian Health System (SUS) to enhance popular participation. In this direction, we investigated the views of 108 health counselors in the Southeast of the country with Internet access. What is their view of the structure and training within the Health Councils? And what they believe is important to improve its performance within the Council?
