Description¶

The article recommends that EE in schools and teacher training move beyond conservation toward a holistic, systemic, and interdisciplinary perspective, as recommended by Brazilian legislation. Its recommendations aim "to foster the development of citizenship at schools and to prevent the silencing of issues such as the conflicts and risks associated with environmental problems." This entails incorporating social, economic, ethical, and cultural issues into EE rather than restricting it to preservation.
