The One Health approach integrates several professionals to solve problems involving human, animal, and environmental health, and its implementation is important for the prevention of pandemics, such as Covid-19. This experience report des-cribes how our extension project in One Health had a positive impact on the continuity of university activities during the Co-vid-19 pandemic and on the promotion of knowledge for the community in general. Due to social isolation, all activities were carried out virtually. The tasks, which started in August 2020, were: (i) webinars and meetings with professors, health professionals, and undergraduate and graduate students; (ii) international course involving professionals and students from Brazil, Germany, Mozambique, and Kosovo; and (iii) dissemi-nation of educational content in posts on social networks. We have done five webinars, 10 study groups to discuss current is-sues, more than 70 content on social media, and two editions of the international course on One Health. The project succeeded in uniting and training a range of professionals from different areas of activity, states, and countries, and in disseminating the One Health approach to the general population.
