Theoretical frameworks

• Participatory Social Mapping: worlds between educational research and ecological activism

  View Abstract

  The locus of this research is the State of Mato Grosso, Brazil, an area that offers many natural beauties and rich biodiversity coupled to a mosaic of identities that form a large network woven by social groups that spread across the state and fight for a decent life in a protected environment. Contrast this landscape results from relentless pursuit of economic growth, economic activity centered on agribusiness, characterized by continuous monoculture areas, most of the production destined for export. This model is also commonly characterized by the concentration of land, converting huge areas of forests into monoculture in farming, in power plants and other activities aimed at immediate pro fit, expropriating vulnerable social groups and causing significant environmental conflicts. The aim of this paper is to present an understanding of these dynamics so different that is present in this territory, in fruitful dialogue with the construction of “Map of the social groups of Mato Grosso” and “Map of socioenvironmental conflicts of Mato Grosso.” These mappings have been proposed and implemented by the Research Group on Environmental Education, Communication and the Arts (GPEA) of the Federal University of Mato Grosso (UFMT) with the important contribution of many partners. For this purpose, we developed an innovative methodology called Social Map, which was based on self-narratives of different social groups. The results presented provide an overview of the current situation, a picture - even temporarily - of different social groups and conflicts that pulsate in the territories of Mato Grosso. From an Environmental Education which aims at social transformation with ecological responsibility, we point out how this research has become a reference for researchers, governments and civil society. Environmental education in dialogue with the social map reinforces the value of culture, in the daring idea of reconstructing the sustainable societies that re-signify values such as en vironmental justice, belonging and democracy.

• Fontenatura: a project of dynamization sustainable for the town hall of Fonsagrada. The natural and cultural heritage as a basis for the endogenous development

  Laura Díaz Barrero

  63-82

  View Abstract

  The town hall lugués of A Fonsagrada lodges a rich ethnographic and natural patrimony that scarcely is putting itself in value at present, or with public or private initiatives for the socio-economic development in a rural area that urgently needs economic and socio-cultural revitalization proposals specified in the population in the territory, prevent or minoricen its progressive regression and improve the social welfare of the citizenship. The answers that, against this background, would offer educational initiatives of nature-environmental, as well as recreational and tourism to the revaluation of the endogenous resources that it holds the town hall, almost no have produced by the time: It’s a considerable loss of opportunities for the economic revitalization and social and cultural strengthening of this territorial area, situation that the design of a project of dynamization sustainable focused in this town hall takes as a starting point to contribute to the transformation of this unjust reality.

  The role of the protected natural areas goes beyond the conservation of natural values, including also the cultural and intangible values, historical, artistic, linguistic, aesthetic...?

  The latter were not very considerate until very recently. In order to consolidate its inclusion in the planning and management in Spain, since Europarc-España in collaboration with other institutions, a manual was drafted as a result of a collaborative work of many professionals.

• Creative wrinting. Literary creation and nature

  Eloy Cabado Lombán

  91-104

  View Abstract

  Creative writing is a great alternative as a stimulant work for the development of our children and youth. It is necessary that the current education system provides a real didactic application to literature. In that role, nature must be included as an essential way for inspiration and creativity. So, it is about validating in classrooms and especially in the natural environment, the proposal of creative writing like a leisure resource that encourages reading and writing. That is, to offer activity proposals for children and youth that permit them to do their own texts.

  View Abstract

  Estamos nun momento crítico da historia da Terra, no cal a humanidade debe elixir o seu futuro. A medida que o mundo vól­vese cada vez máis interdependiente e frá­xil, o futuro depara, á vez, grandes riscos e grandes promesas. Para seguir adian­te, debemos recoñecer que no medio da magnífica diversidade de culturas e formas de vida, somos unha soa familia humana e unha soa comunidade terrestre cun des­tino común. Debemos unirnos para crear unha sociedade global sostible fundada no respecto cara á natureza, os dereitos humanos universais, a xustiza económica e unha cultura de paz. En torno a este fin, é imperativo que nós, os pobos da Terra, declaremos a nosa responsabilidade uns cara a outros, cara á gran comunidade da vida e cara ás xeracións futuras.
