Ecotechniques and the Sustainable Educator Space

This work arises from the need to transversalize the concept of environmental sustainability in order to awaken in the being the perception of the available natural resources and the responsibility to better use them. The proposal is that this awakening happens in school, a place of integration of the local community, since elementary school. Thus, the concepts related to the environment, inserted articulating theory and practice, in the various compulsory disciplines, culminate in the awareness of the being as an active subject. The proposed actions are guided by ecotechniques, chosen according to the demands and potential of the territory where one lives, even if it is the backyard of one's home or the schoolyard. And because they are children and adolescents, in a school environment, the transversalization of the principles of sustainability fosters the dispersion of environmental perception among family members and surroundings through action, good practices and a sense of belonging, when it is understood that we are part of a whole and can actively shape our reality.
