In order to characterize the Health Promotion activities developed by primary education teachers of three public schools in Paraíba, this descriptive, qualitative study was performed in 2010. Thirty-two teachers were interviewed. The data were submitted to content analysis and grouped into thematic categories. The following categories emerged: theoretical knowledge regarding health promotion and the practice of health promotion in schools, the latter also encompassed the subcategories: planning in-school health promotion activities, in-school health promotion activities, evaluation of in-school health promotion activities and teachers’ expectations towards performing health promotion activities. Therefore, a cross-sectional, comprehensive and intersectoral approach must be made to health promotion, establishing a dialogue between education and health, comprising networks of commitment and co-responsibility to implement the activities. Nurses must participate in the social support network.
