School environmental education through agroecology and permaculture: The experience of the Permacultural School Project

Abstract

This article aims to reflect on the interlocutions between agroecology and permaculture with environmental education, more specifically with school environmental education. We intend to bring a presentation on how these thematic areas can act as key elements to facilitate a pedagogical process committed to the unveiling and the search for solutions to different dimensions of the contemporary socio-environmental crisis. In this context, the results of a school environmental education experience based on agroecology and permaculture as school subjects will be presented, offered for high school in a state school on the outskirts of the city of Rio de Janeiro.
