SEMINAR | Environmental education, policy, and public schools: foundations and possibilities in the Brazilian context
8 may 2025, 14:00
Date: May 8, 2025 – 2:00 PM (GMT+1)
Format: Online event
Environmental education in Brazil is a field of study, practice, and research still under construction, despite its widespread implementation across various social spaces: in scientific research, science communication, NGOs, social movements, schools, and public universities.
In this seminar, we aim to discuss environmental education in Brazil, particularly from the creation of the National Environmental Education Policy (PNEA) more than 25 years ago and its development since then. We will also explore its integration into different social settings — especially public schools — as well as macropolitical-pedagogical trends and concrete possibilities for environmental educational actions grounded in a critical and anti-capitalist educational perspective.
