The social-educational projection in matter of health for health sciences, as well as the educational actions in social and health fields, are crucial in the processes, actions and programs of prevention, as in the promotion of community health. In this paper there are given some disciplinary foundations of the Social Education (ES), regulated as a professional graduate in Europe, and in Social Education for Health (ESS) as a specialization within it. Likewise, certain considerations about the professionalization of social educators from the Academy are given, and some main definitions of competence and practical realities for the fields of action. Social Education for Health (ESS) is within the studies of Social Education and the professional practice, offering different possibilities of transformation and improvement, mainly from education in the non formal field. Colombia presents different general and specific social phenomena and problems where Social Education and Social Education for Health can be, from the contextualization, very useful for the transformation and improvement of the country.
