Objective: To undestand the community perceptions linked to health in the Colombian Caribbean region, in order to understand the diverse problems that affect peace in education environments. Materials and methods: Qualitative descriptive study developed in 13 educational institutions of the Colombian Caribbean region. 35 interviews were conducted using the snowball method and 7 focus groups. For the analysis of the data, the content analysis technique was used and they were systematized and processed with NVivo software. Results: They focus on the perceptions of the three types of violence linked to health: a) direct violence: negligence and violence in families: care of children and the group, drug use; school coexistence, lack of health, community conflicts; b) structural violence: the need for the right to health as social justice, precariousness in the promotion and prevention of disease, disturbance of peace and, c) cultural violence: centered on the symbolic capacity of the subject, demands for reconsideration of its cultural elements for the benefit of peace building. Conclusion: The population studied is in a context of vulnerability, highlighting a need to exercise the right to health and peace. It is necessary an intervention approach from the public policy to generate the co-participation of the community from the recognition of their own culture.
