Objective: to present Forum Theater as a methodology of Permanent Health Education (PHE) for the work process of Community Health Workers (CHWs), based on their perceptions of the daily routine of services and the use of theatrical techniques to address reality. Method: descriptive, qualitative research conducted in 2019 with 10 CHWs in Rio de Janeiro. Forum Theater and semi-structured interviews were applied, along with thematic analysis. Results: CHW identified the complexity of their work processes and reported on the development of actions: Welcoming, registration, and follow-up of families. Forum Theater was a methodology for qualifying their work processes through in-service training with a problematizing characteristic. Conclusion: Forum Theater is appropriate for the development of PHE with CHWs, as it enables participatory spaces, listening, and collective analysis of everyday problems, envisioning social transformations.
