OLIVEIRA, Paola Silveira de; HENNING, Paula Corrêa  e  SILVA, Gisele Ruiz. Environmental Education, childhood, Philosophy and school: possibilities of intertwinement with philosophical experiences. Acta Educ. [online]. 2025, vol.47, e64619.  Epub 01-Dez-2024. ISSN 2178-5201.  https://doi.org/10.4025/actascieduc.v47i1.64619.

This study aimed at understanding how the exercise of thinking about the world in which we live and our relations with the planet may be aroused in children who attend Early Childhood Education (ECE). Based on philosophical experiences, we aimed at stimulating thinking in a group of children who attended ECE in a public school in a city located in the extreme south of Rio Grande do Sul (RS) state, Brazil in 2021. We intended to instigate them to take care of the world in which we live with the use of Philosophy, the creation of some breathing spaces in school and the intertwinement among school, childhood, Philosophy and Environmental Education (EE). The text problematized this experience when it addressed the gaps that have been created in school. We aimed at understanding what meanings children attributed to the places where they circulated, especially the school and its surroundings. Did the children actually feel that they belonged to school? Did they feel that they belonged to the world? What are the teachers’ roles in this process? How did the children experience school? What did they think about the places where they passed through? The methodological process was based on Michel Foucault’s concept of problematization linked to Alfredo Veiga-Neto’s hypercriticism. It used post-critical studies in Education and questioned some values of truth found in discourses on EE in order to break the frontiers of thought and start from unpredictability, from unrepeatable and unique experiences.
