Abstract

This paper presents the outreach project “Environmental Education: raising awareness about the future” carried out by environmental engineering professors and students in partnership with the social program “Viver Ações Sociais” developed in Chapecó, Santa Catarina, Brazil. The text describes the activities and audiovisual products of asynchronous remote interaction – an imposition of the spread and contamination of COVID-19 – with a group of children aged between 6 and 10, conducted from March to August 2020. The methodological strategies – participative and collaborative – for the definition and structuration of content led to discussions in the following themes: (a) caring for the environment, (b) waste and recycling, (c) natural water resource and (d) renewable energies. Despite the technological difficulties, the results demonstrate the increasing understanding of the environmental awareness, the improvement of knowledge and the development of critical thinking related to these themes.
