Abstract
This article provides an account of the elaboration of the 2021-2024 strategic plan of the Graduate Program in Family Health offered by the Northeast Family Health Education Network. Developed in 2020, the plan aims to strengthen the Program by promoting collective working that emphasizes a holistic approach and specificities. The study was guided by three key questions: In what context did the experience take place? What was the methodological path taken by the subjects in the training network built as they went along? How are the three fundamental parts of a plan linked together to form a whole? The narratives express a participatory planning experience. This pathway mobilized the network around an educational and strategic action, bringing respect, cultural diversity and cooperation to life. The findings show that the pathway was effective, resulting in a guiding document for the program for the four-year period.
