This article aims to describe the health communication experiences developed with quilombola communities in the Amazonia through social media in the covid-19 pandemic. The dissemination of educational messages was one of the alternatives used by quilombola organizations and their partners to provide health information and guidance. Accumulated experiences are presented based on the actions carried out by volunteers in the period from 2020 to 2022. Among the digital media and strategies used, most important are the digital cards produced and distributed mainly through the WhatsApp Messenger. We reflect on the importance of using social media as educational communication tools for health promotion and prevention of covid-19, in a technological era that intensifies intense exchanges of information and knowledge. In the case approached here, health education through social/digital media proved to be an essential tool for minimizing the impacts of covid-19 on the quilombola population.
