Aim: to describe the academic experience on developing educational actions about COVID-19 prevention with adolescents. Method: experience report about health education practices developed with 334 adolescents, divided in 15 groups, who study in the public education system in Valparaíso de Goiás. Actions were developed, in March 2020, using the theoretical framework of culture circles, mediated by nursing and physiotherapy students. Results: educational actions were developed through Freire’s culture circles and the problematization, to assist adolescents to transit from naive conscience to critical conscience, about COVID-19 prevention and care. Conclusion: educational actions, with a Freirean culture circle, are essential to strengthen the exchange and construction of knowledge mediated by scientific knowledge that can demystify taboos, alleviate doubts, and generate possibilities for health promotion and care.
