En este articulo se mostrara si a traves de dichas aportaciones, y llevando a cabo programas de educacion comunitaria sobre salud, mejora la calidad de vida de un centro transformado en comunidad de aprendizaje, donde el 84% del alumnado es de etnia gitana, durante el curso 2018/19. La metodologia de investigacion utilizada responde al enfoque comunicativo critico, buscando la descripcion y/o interpretacion de la realidad, y ademas pretende ayudar a transformar esa realidad. Dicha metodologia esta basada en el dialogo igualitario entre la comunidad cientifica y las personas cuya realidad sea objeto de investigacion. A traves de las entrevistas en profundidad de orientacion comunicativa y los grupos de discusion comunicativos se vislumbrara que el alumnado ha mejorado sus habitos de vida saludables, manifestandose tambien que lo aprendido en la escuela se encuentra, a menudo, en conflicto con lo que adquieren en su entorno familiar. EnglishOver the last years, participative experiences carried out by educational centres set as Learning Communities have been developed in Andalusia. Those communities are gradually making the socio-educational reality of schools and their environments be transformed through the promotion of cultural and educational contributions from many people involved in the improvement of education. This article will show if the living standards of an educational centre that was transformed into a learning community and where 84% of its students are of gypsy origin improved thanks to the aforementioned contributions and the implementation of community health education programmes during academic year 2018-2019. The research methodology is based on the critical communicative approach in an attempt to find a description and/or interpretation of reality. It also aims to help transform that reality. This methodology relies on the egalitarian dialogue between the scientific community and the people whose reality is subject to study. Throughout the in-depth interviews of communicative nature and the discussion groups, it will be revealed that students have improved their healthy lifestyles, and also that what they learn at school often comes into conflict with what their get from home.
