Environmental education: Interweaving knowledge for the ecology of knowledges

Resumen

The environmental crisis reveals the crisis of ocidental civilization, of its nature project and its project of mankind. Such project is externalized in the fragmentation of knowledge and in the teaching practice which separates teachers and students from nature problems and matters of  everyday life. This work discusses the importance for the construction of a curriculum model, based on the relation between nature-man and an interdiciplinary conception of this relation. The Environmental Education does not have to be seen as another discipline (obrigatory by law), but it should  be assumed as knowledge, which unifies contents and give the school a new sense, a new reason for existing, reintroducing teachers and students in a harmonic relationship with the Earth.
