Environmental Education a Comparison of Models

Today, just a few of schools give to their students a opportunity to share knowledge that 

Coltec does. In the past few years a partnership of Coltec with schools in Argentina and 

Sweden started a exchange of people and information among those places. There are groups

 of students that share common ideas and, being oriented by a teacher they spend their 

time and energy collecting information to make the experience worth their sacrifices. 

We interviewed a group whose project is to analyze how the environmental education

 influences on the developing of environmental awareness. 

 
They started reading some bibliographies about the theme and they did a comparison of 

education model applied on Brazil and the ones that are applied in Sweden. Their first 

result is a panorama. Here in Brazil there's a lot of speech about environmental awareness 

but the action from the people and from the government is too small, on the other hand 

in Sweden we see that they say a lot but there's also a lot of action and a mass awareness 

what makes of them one of the cleanest countries in the world. 

 

 

 


 
The structure of their questionnaires and methodology is not finished yet, because they will

hear some ideas from the Swedish teachers and students to make the project as comprehensive as possible.
