On this quality nature study, we aimed at verifying learning needs, developing an educative program related to leprosy with the carrier, mediated by research-action methodology and based on Paulo Freire's theoretical referential of consciousness education. We worked with nineteen individuals on a first moment and with six of both genders, in subsequent moments. The investigation was developed on a Medicine School from Sao Paulo State. Data was collected through interviews, participant observation, discussion groups and home visiting. The results pointed out five generators themes: disease disinformation, leprosy signals and symptoms, disease transmission, stigma and lack of prevention for physical incapacities. We elaborated an educative program with problems situations of carriers' reality, motivating them to dialogue. The educative program with leprosy carrier propitiated consciousness' taking, the development of capacities and abilities for self-caring. The consciousness process evaluation allowed us to testify the changing of a passive individual into and active and reflexive one, information multiplier and reality transformer, respecting cultural context.
