The promotion of health in positive and well-being terms implies conceiving it as the process in which the community increases control over its health and improves it. Universities in this sense have great capacities for their promotion, for example, the Health Fairs, which break traditional unidirectional and passive schemes of health programs.
The Integral Health Program (PSI) of the Universidad Veracruzana, Mexico, implemented health promotion through Health Fairs. However, there was a perception in the university community that its implementation had no effect on the students served. The impact of the Fairs was evaluated through a questionnaire and the strengths of character were identified.
The participation of students in these activities provides them with knowledge and skills to improve their health, as well as to adopt lifestyles consistent with self-care and sustainability. Likewise, the 24 strengths are present in all students, although self-control was the least present strength. Therefore, the Health Fairs are spaces that promote health, by transmitting and appropriating information, at the same time that they approach and educate different audiences in an effective playful way.
