Abstract

Immersed in a research project that provided education in environmental education processes, this research sought to understand how these educational activities have approached the subjects involved. So we had to point out the challenges and opportunities / potential of a methodological process of construction for Environmental Education Programs in licensing from an experience report. The theoretical and methodological premises that supported this research are guided in a critical perspective. Also, emancipatory Environmental Education is linked to its methodological development in a participatory manner in Projects and Programs implemented over an environmental license. By using the methodological strategy of ethnographic qualitative research style, it means an adaptation of ethnography when the focus refers to studies of educational processes. It was possible to observe and analyze some elements which is believed to be methodological relevant to this proposal. Among the main aspects pointed, it was identified at the time as the main challenge in implementing the EEP. However, many possibilities such as learning, reflecting, questioning, participating, and meeting reality itself were experienced. And even discovering local potential as the relationship that subjects have with the place where they live and organized local leaderships and related to religious groups. Such aspects are configured as a strong ally to understand the reasons which led people to continue or not the movement undertaken by the EEP. And also to demonstrate the extent to which a participatory approach is consistent with the reality of the people involved and the goals of emancipatory proposal and criticism of Environmental Education in implementing an EEP in licensing.
