Diálogos interculturais e pedagogias decoloniais em meio a problemas socioambientais

compreensão de natureza a partir de saberes e práticas tradicionais indígenas

Abstract

In the face of the current climate crisis and sociopolitical and socio-environmental challenges, the urgency of promoting Critical Environmental Education, grounded in the ancestral knowledge and practices of Indigenous peoples, has become increasingly evident. This approach seeks to contribute to the future of nature and, consequently, of humanity. In this regard, this study aims to present reflections that enable the establishment of intercultural dialogues and exchanges based on ancestral worldviews and perceptions of nature, fostering an Intercultural and Decolonial Critical Environmental Education in the training of Science and Biology teachers. This perspective seeks to address contemporary environmental challenges and the aspiration for a fundamentally sustainable planetary future, taking into account the real contexts of the Global South. To this end, a new perspective on nature is proposed rooted in ancestry, traditional knowledge, and Indigenous peoples’ relationship with the natural world, emphasizing a sense of wonder and respect for nature in educational processes through decolonial pedagogies.
