Historically, sanitary emergencies unleash public health strategies based on a prescriber and verticalized campaign model. Through a territory-based perspective that values and puts in dialogue the popular knowledge, the popular education for health advocates for the strengthening of social participation to deal with this damage. This essay aims to apprehend the limits and possibilities of social technology in popular health education by the analysis of an extension project that promoted a continuing education process with health agents at the Complexo do Alemão, State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in the zika virus context. It was a exploratory qualitative research by a documental analysis of this extension project. To investigate, thematize and problematize the territory emergencies through the freirean approach could help to develop prevention and promotion activities that, at least, were more complex than usual and territorybased as well. However, some participants also maintained the classical absolutization of the ignorance by the popular class and the excessive valorization of scientific knowledge, which refers to two challenges for replicating popular education methods: the educator background and the temporality of educative actions.
