The present paper recuperates the historical records of public policies of selective collecting of domestic solid residues which contribute to the analysis of applicability and responses to the demands for Environmental Education Instructional Material at the Municipal Environmental Department in Curitiba, Paraná (Brazil). It focuses on the report of the experience of dialogue creation among sectors, originated by the “Guide of the Ecocitizen Project”, a pedagogical tool conceived for the training of multipliers. The Capão da Imbuia Natural History Museum is the birthplace of Curitiba’s Environmental Education which, in the 1970’s, dealt with the fauna and flora conservation. Later on, in the 1980’s, they expanded to the urban daily life by means of community programs and projects. The importance of Instructional Materials to dialogue with the social, cultural, economical, ecological and political interfaces increased. Throughout this process, the conclusion is reached that Instructional Materials are instruments of articulation for educational and inter institutional communication.

Keywords : Environmental Education; Instructional Material; Public Policy; Inter Institutional Dialogues.
