Environmental education and permaculture at school

This paper presents a proposal of action of Environmental Education in an Elementary School, in 2014. Through the construction of a permaculture garden involving the school community - teachers, students, staff and parents, the aim was to make this action permanent, seeking social and environmental change. The 'apprentices', in an active and permanent way, built knowledge and disseminated educational information and practices about the environment. In small spaces, large amounts of learning occurred about topics of the environmental dimension as healthy diet, proper use of water and others, seeking to extend knowledge and practices to every home using multipliers, through reflection, dialogue, participation and citizenship in the building of sustainable societies.
