A look at the historical paths of environmental education in a decade of sharing in the Portuguese-speaking world and Galician

Abstract

Little more than a decade after the creation of the Lusophone Network and the regular holding of Portuguese meetings and Congresses, under the backdrop of Environmental Education in the eight territories and regions that make up the Lusophone community, here we take advantage of this moment for a retrospective look at the historical tours of the Portuguese-speaking congresses, which took place during the II International Days of Environmental Education at the Centro de Extensión Universitaria and Divulgación Ambiental de Galicia - CEIDA, in April 2018, at the Santa Cruz Castle in Liáns, Oleiros, A Coruña. Flying over this decade after the first Santiago de Compostela congress, followed by those from, Cuiabá, Murtosa and Príncipe island, as well as the institutionalization of regular Portuguese-speaking meetings, on various stages in Portuguese territories, with some distance for the time passed, we can say that these meetings brought the community a unique moment of sharing, emphasizing the importance of cultural debate and the strengthening of Environmental Education, at the intersection of dialogues between different actors, concepts and methods, knowledge of the countless experiences, experiences and policies public. The General State of the Arts was reviewed at these meetings, a radiography of the true identities that pulsate and survive in these Portuguese-speaking territories was given, giving voice to different social groups to build an inclusive social policy from an ecological point of view. In the current conjuncture, taking into account the new challenges and questions that our society faces, it is now urgent to trace new directions so that in a firm and determined way it can position and stop the status quo, with a Glocal strategy (contraction of the global and the local ), strengthened in unison as the only way for us to face and overcome the current adversities that society challenges us in the current global scenario.
