During the research was based on an observational qualitative methodology participants noted how the use of different media could contribute to the successful implementation of the campaign, as well as for the development of the learning process. The combat campaign to Zika Zero promoted the articulation of different areas of knowledge, addressing issues of everyday life, and to explore various literary genres, and especially cultural aspects that influence the training of individuals in the community. Students, project protagonists, actively participated in all stages, also promoting the dissemination of the work. We conclude that it is possible to improve the quality of educational work, when the teacher takes advantage and uses the media that the school offers, enabling students to develop skills, and critical thinking. The more dynamic and interactive for the job, the better the involvement of students in the activities proposed by the teacher and will be more meaningful learning.
