Committee on the environment and quality of life at school (Com-Vida): an investigation in official documents

Abstract

In this article we present an investigation that focused, from a documentary analysis, the documents FORMANDO COM-VIDA – construindo a Agenda 21 na escola and Educação ambiental: aprendizes de sustentabilidade. For the analysis, the following words were related: COM-VIDA, Public policies, Education, Environmental education, Pedagogical practices, Environment, Teaching, Youth and Agenda 21, counting occurrences in both documents, also relating discussions about the authorship of documents, as well as authors, nature and context. The documents analyzed treat the theme in a corresponding way, with objective language. It was noted that Com-Vida's close relationship with current government policies, as well as the need for new documents on the subject with a more specific focus on strategies of implementation of the program and that reinforce the need for continuity and development of the project "Vamos cuidar do Brasil com as Escolas" which Com-Vida integrates.
