Abstract

The environmental education in Brazil has been in the process of adhering to pedagogical practice since the 1990s, being made official by a national policy in 1999. The environment needs to be treated more than a transversal axis, being an integral part of the reality of students in the 21st century, based on the principles of sustainability, interdisciplinarity and complexity. The educational-environmental practices can be applied by the critical-reflexive current of Paulo Freire in the context of the reading of the world made by the student in the face of the environmental problems of his locality. One of the main examples of educational and environmental practices is the performance of fieldwork in watersheds. Educational and environmental practices have legal foundations and teachers can support their methodologies and practices. As an example of educational-environmental practice there are visits in ecological parks created in public spaces of old degraded areas, in order to raise awareness of elementary school students for practices regarding nature and public spaces.
