Iniciativas de educação ambiental na Escola Municipal Honrino Alves Pulgas Zona Rural de Barreiras do Piauí

Abstract

The article addresses innovative environmental education initiatives in elementary education at Escola Municipal Honorino Alves Pugas, located in Barreiras do Piauí, PI. The research highlights the importance of environmental awareness from the first years of school education and investigates how this school specifically has stood out in this context. The Honorino Alves Pugas Municipal School updated a comprehensive approach to environmental education, incorporating it into the school curriculum in a transversal way. This means that environmental education is not limited to specific disciplines, but is integrated into all areas of knowledge. Teachers are trained to address environmental issues in their classes, making the topic a fundamental part of the learning process. Additionally, the school promotes hands-on activities such as gardening and recycling projects, educational trips to local natural areas, and community awareness campaigns. These practical activities allow students to experience the importance of environmental preservation in a concrete way. Initial results from these initiatives are promising, showing an increase in student interest in the environment and greater awareness
