Educação ambiental nas aulas de ciências, Marcos Reigota

In his first article (meu primeiro artigo) (1984), Marcos Reigota tells about his initiatic experience as Science teacher with children attending two primary schools located in two different areas of the metropolis of São Paulo, Brazil. The first area is affected by a growing industrialization and the problem of pollution becomes matter of discussion among the pupils; the second area is marked by the tertiary sector and is occupied by a favela (shanty town), where most of the children attending the second school live. In the lessons, the concept “think global-act local” is used to stimulate children to be aware of and concerned about global environmental problems as well as about the problems which affect their daily life.

Friluftsliv and the Postmodern Mood, Bob Jickling

The promise of friluftsliv, it seems, is access to a sensuous world, and through this, access to home, an oikos. Yet while an outdoor life may be necessarily a part of that access it may not, by it self, be sufficient to appreciate the “spell of the sensuous” (Abram, 1996). What may be required is a more profound disruption of one’s ontological positioning. This paper relives a series of ontological experiments. The methodology is a form of lyric philosophy that seeks to engage the reader/observer with these experiments.
In the spirit of open creativity—written and artistic—I remain eager to revise the work through a continuation of these experiments. Thus I propose to make a small number of additional images that arise from spontaneous experiences during the walk and my attempts to develop these pictures in the field. Thus, I propose that a discussion of my paper and further art making would be integrated into a kind of walking workshop.
