Among the major causes of death in Brazil, there are those that have cardiorespiratory arrest as final outcome. It still represents and remains one of the biggest health problems worldwide. Estimates indicate that about 200,000 cardiopulmonary arrests occur annually in Brazil, half of which occur outside the hospital, thus depending on the action of lay citizens. This article aims to report the experiences of the “Teaching to Save Lives” Extention Project, designed to train and broaden the population's knowledge about cardiopulmonary resuscitation practices, through theoretical-practical interventions in schools of São João del Rei. However, without the possibility of face-to-face meetings due to the SARS-CoV-2 virus pandemic, the project was called upon to rethink its plans and methodologies. Understanding the importance of the interventions, distance learning strategies were adopted in order to maintain the objectives of the project.
