EDUCAÇÃO AMBIENTAL E OCUPAÇÃO DE ESPAÇOS EM INSTITUIÇÕES DE ENSINO

Abstract

: Educational institutions have played a fundamental role throughout history due to their transmission of scientific knowledge, which is, for the most part, their own production. In this perspective, it is believed that through education, awareness of environmental issues is awakened and disseminated. Although it plays a prominent role in this search, education as a solo instrument will not reach its objective and in addition to environmental education activities, it is necessary to naturalize social integrating spaces for sustainability in the institutions' daily lives. Thus, this article deals with the importance of raising awareness of this theme, as well as its relevance as a construction tool providing a proposal for a social integrating space for sustainability for the community of Campus Aracaju, of the Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia de Sergipe (IFS). This proposal, in addition to enabling greater awareness of the environmental agenda in the community, calls attention to more dialogue on this topic, since changes in the layout of spaces, making them more integrating, also contribute to the performance of students and even for his perception as a subject before others and himself.
