Abstract

Environmental Education aims to awaken people to care the environment, seeking to ensure their rights and responsibilities towards it. In the communities, environmental education may be a decisive factor to minimize the negative impacts of anthropic actions and to change habits. Thus, the outreach project Environmental Education in Communities carried out at Dom Bosco Catholic University (UCDB), in partnership with Albino Coimbra Filho Social Assistance Reference Center, conducted activities addressing environmental education to develop people’s competences and skills for the conservation and the conscious use of natural resources. The activities had as target audience the community assisted by the Reference Center in Social Assistance (CRAS) and the theme was addressed through workshops, lectures, conversation circles, playful afternoons and the construction of a recreational park with recyclable tires. Such actions contributed to the reflections on the need to change habits, besides improving ethical and environmental values for citizens exercise their rights.
