A Educação Ambiental aplicada na gestão territorial: um estudo de caso de uma escola lindeira ao Parque Nacional do Iguaçu

A função da Educação Ambiental crítica é o empoderamento dos atores sociais na construção de novos princípios e valores que orientem suas ações para o desenvolvimento de uma sociedade mais sustentável, mais justa e com equidade social e ambiental. Dessa maneira, a primeira sessão é dedicada ao trabalho coletivo que objetivou realizar uma intervenção na Escola Estadual do Campo Dom Pedro II, em São Miguel do Iguaçu/PR, visando estimular os alunos do 6º e 7º anos a refletir sobre a proposta do Espaço Educador Sustentável. A sessão dois, busca refletir sobre toda a caminhada percorrida durante o curso com a construção de um memorial. Verifica-se desse modo que a crise ambiental é uma oportunidade para refletir sobre as práticas educativas, as relações socioambientais, a gestão participativa do território, principalmente em áreas lindeiras as Unidades de Conservação.The understanding of socio-environmental relations is central to a territorial management aimed at mediating the conflicts inherent in the tensions between society and nature. From this point of view, Environmental Education in the school environment is a fundamental strategy, as it seeks the formation of critical citizens about the current model of society. In this way, the first session is dedicated to the collective work that aimed to carry out an intervention at the Dom Pedro II State School in São Miguel do Iguaçu / PR, aiming to stimulate the students of the 6th and 7th years to reflect on the proposal of Sustainable Education Place. Thus, during five meetings, activities were developed to provide knowledge about the local context, reflection on socio-environmental relations, and to encourage social articulation through the creation of the Environment and Quality of Life Committee in the School. From this, it was possible to identify the potentiality of the actors that are part of the school environment in the management of the territory. Session two, seeks to reflect on all the journey taken during the course with the construction of a memorial. The purpose of this memorial is to compile the eight modules that have been taken in the 18 months of the course. Its purpose is to structure the lived experience through the analysis of the individual trajectory of each one and later, to share the reflections obtained from the Specialization in Environmental Education with Emphasis on Sustainable Educator Spaces. The understanding so far is that the role of Critical Environmental Education is the empowerment of social actors in the construction of new principles and values that guide their actions towards the development of a more sustainable, fairer society with social equity and environmental. This shows that the environmental crisis is an opportunity to reflect on educational practices, socio- environmental relations and participatory management of the territory, especially in areas surrounding the Conservation Unit
