Concepções de dirigentes de Cátedras Paulo Freire situadas nas regiões Nordeste, Norte e Sul sobre a educação ambiental nesses espaços formativos.

Abstract

Environmental education (EE) can be used as a tool for individuals to develop sustainable skills and attitudes through critical awareness. This requires moving away from traditional banking education and moving towards emancipatory education. These precepts are part of Freire's pedagogy. In view of the approximation of EE with Freire's thoughts and methodology, it is important to understand the conceptions of the leaders of Paulo Freire Chairs on EE in these formative spaces. To achieve this general objective we resorted to the use of interviews that were transcribed and analyzed in the light of content analysis. The results allow us to infer that in the conception of the leaders, the EA is directly related to Freire's ideas, and it is not possible to dissociate the social from the environmental. EA, emphasizing its influence on the works developed in these spaces. Some of the actions developed in these training spaces with EA are: research, training of educators, in Youth and Adult Education and offer of subjects.
