The project “Management Strengthining and Stimulus to Social Participation in Health Councils in Federal District through Medicine Students and a Strategic Partnership with Health Family Program Professionals” was developed from June to December 2005 in two stages: Area diagnosis of Areal in Taguatinga-DF and Strategic Planning. The objective was to qualify and increase the councilors partici pation on the Health Council making his action more effective. Several methodologies were used in the project stages. The Fast Partaking Estimative, the Health center 5 Room of Situation data analyses, and the user satisfaction (assessed though questionnaires) were applied during the area diagnosis. The Strategic Planning was a result of the data analysis collected on the diagnosis stage when the main problems were detected as well as propositions for their resolutions were made. The results reveled socio-economic and cultural contrast, defi cient basic attention to health, ineffective education, inadequate pavement and sewage disposal system. The project provides the medicine students an opportunity to get involved in a reality which is a challenge to the social control of public health care policies.

Starting from the concepts of a project and political -pedagogic project, it presents a proposal for its construction based in marks. The suitable marks include: the referencial, the philosophical, the conceptual and the structural. The mark referencial is the starting point, that is to say, the knowledge and critic of the reality; the philosophical mark represents the faiths and the community's values involved in the project; the conceptual mark is represented by the theory or concepts that give support to the proposal; and, finally the structural mark establishes the competences and the profile of the professional to be formed and the methodological option for organization and development of the matters and disciplines.

A proposta de criação do Portal do Controle Social em Saúde surgiu durante a realização do Seminário sobre Controle Social em Saúde quando, ao selecionar experiências bem sucedidas e debates atualizados, oportunizou a discussão sobre as possibilidades de socialização, participação e discussão de temas atuais que incluam os encaminhamentos gerados pelos diferentes atores e espaços, envolvendo principalmente os conselheiros de saúde atuantes nas comunidades, as formações acadêmicas e como o serviço vem tratando essa questão.

Este seminário teve apoio institucional da UnB, através do DEX e do CPD da UnB criando um site específico para hospedagem das inscrições e certificações. Dos encaminhamentos deste seminário temos como resultados: a criação da Revista Gestão & Saúde e do Portal Controle Social em Saúde, atualmente hospedado junto ao site do Núcleo de Estudos em Educação e Promoção da Saúde – NESPROM da UnB. Em continuidade este evento foi o embrião para a criação da Revista Gestão & Saúde on line, hospedada no site do NESPROM e da realização de mais três seminários regional nesta mesma temática, sendo que o segundo e terceiro seminário contou com o apoio da Secretaria de Estado da Saúde do Distrito Federal.
