| Abstract (English): | This article presents the results of a qualitative case study incorporating ethnographic elements, conducted in a rural farming community in the southwestern region of Antioquia, Colombia, with the participation of local leaders, community health promoters, youth, and older adults. The objective was to understand the sociocultural factors that influence health education processes mediated by digital technologies. Observations, interviews, and focus groups were conducted during community walks, dialogical processes, and learning activities, which helped identify meanings and practices related to health education. Although tensions such as digital illiteracy and limited access to the internet and devices persist, the use of technology contributes to narrowing educational gaps. The findings highlight the importance of trust in academic and health institutions, participation, co-construction, and the critical curation of educational resources as key conditions for pedagogical actions that strengthen community empowerment.

| Abstract (Spanish): | Este artículo presenta los resultados de un estudio de caso cualitativo con elementos etnográficos, realizado en una comunidad campesina del suroeste de Antioquia, Colombia, con participación de líderes, promotores de salud, jóvenes y adultos mayores. Se buscó comprender los factores socioculturales que influyen en los procesos formativos mediados por tecnologías digitales. Se aplicaron observaciones, entrevistas y grupos focales durante recorridos comunitarios, procesos dialógicos y actividades de aprendizaje, permitiendo identificar significados y prácticas en torno a la educación para la salud. Aunque persisten tensiones como el analfabetismo digital y el acceso restringido a internet y dispositivos, el uso de tecnologías contribuye a reducir brechas formativas. Los hallazgos resaltan la confianza en instituciones académicas y de salud, la participación, la co-construcción y la curaduría crítica de recursos educativos como condiciones para fortalecer el empoderamiento comunitario.

| Abstract (Portuguese): | Este artigo apresenta os resultados de um estudo de caso qualitativo que incorpora elementos etnográficos, realizado em uma comunidade camponesa no sudoeste de Antioquia, Colômbia, com a participação de líderes, promotores de saúde, jovens e pessoas idosas. O objetivo foi compreender os fatores socioculturais que incidem nos processos formativos mediados por tecnologias digitais. Foram realizadas observações, entrevistas e grupos focais durante percursos comunitários, processos dialógicos e atividades de aprendizagem, permitindo identificar significados e práticas relacionadas à educação em saúde. Embora persistam tensões como o analfabetismo digital e o acesso limitado à internet e dispositivos, o uso de tecnologias contribui para reduzir lacunas formativas. Os achados destacam a confiança em instituições acadêmicas e de saúde, a participação, a coconstrução e a curadoria crítica de recursos educacionais como condições para ações pedagógicas que fortalecem o empoderamento comunitário.
