Sustainability pratices and actions with pedagogical intervention

Abstract

There is a worldwide concern regarding climate change, and in order to find a response to this threat, several agreements and conferences are being held around the world. The motivation for the project comes from the difficulty that basic education faces in planning sustainable practices and actions in the school environment. In view of this, we thought about providing solutions so that the proposals could be developed by a public school in the city of Belém-Pará. Therefore, we decided to work in 3 stages within the project developed by the school entitled “Schools of Knowledge and Actions for Sustainability”, to recognize the area, analyze the project proposed by the school, search for existing projects, and establish technical partnerships with the objective of raising awareness in the school community about the responsible use of natural resources, such as reducing energy consumption, water consumption, and creating healthier environments for the school community and consequently for the surrounding population. Based on the visits, meetings held with teachers, school management and observation of the infrastructure characteristics, sustainable actions and practices of the aforementioned project were initiated, as well as the use and adaptations of the methodology of the Environmental Agenda in Public Administration - A3P made available by the Ministry of the Environment were proposed, which did not happen because the school management was unable to involve and encourage teachers in the activities that were carried out with the students, resulting in the interruption of the actions.
