The paradoxes of covid-19 and the action of environmental education: in the face of the unpredictability and uncertainties

ABSTRACT

The historical reality tends to be understood as a social construction, with objective and subjective meanings, as is the case of environmental education projects and Covid-19. This pandemic points to limits and possibilities, our interdependence with others and with nature. The aim of the text is to bring to light an approach to the purposes for environmental education, in the face of chaos, uncertainties and sociocultural changes. The phenomenon highlighted in the text paradigmatically attests to the relevance of the social protection system, the exchange with environmental well-being, as well as the extent and intensity of the uncertainties that afflict citizens in the face of ongoing technological changes. A large part of the text is dedicated to outlining aspects considered important, such as prospecting, for environmental education in a post-pandemic perspective.
