The incidence of risk factors related to cardiovascular diseases such as obesity has increased significantly in the recent decades and, therefore, the urgent need for innovative tools as a preventive strategy. On the other hand, it is known that children adapted to a healthy lifestyle are more prone to conscious choices as adults. Thus, the aim of the present experience report was to demonstrate how university students, local volunteers and the school community interact in a harmonious way in an exclusively extensionist project and systematically proposed action. Regarding the methodology it was applied that developed by the “Little Hearts Changing Lives” (LHCL) program, which uses the concept of Creative Learning for the dissemination of health information, in partnership with Brazilian and American universities. The program's manual enables university students to recreate and co-create dynamics as puppet theater using rhyming poetry and parodies. Therefore, the students were instructed to develop, in pairs, the implementation of the program in Baependi, Minas Gerais State (Brazil), using the theme cardiovascular physiology. Thus, students from two Universities of Juiz de Fora (UFJF and UNIPAC-JF) had the opportunity to carry out educational activities for 758 students, between 6 and 12 years old, enrolled in schools of that city. We conclude that the children of this community are receptive to actions such as those employed in this extension project. Also, community interventions play an important role especially for university students who actively participate in these actions.
