The set of proposals and activities that we present in ECODIALOGO
has been developed within the framework of the European Community’s
Socrates programme in the field of education. The objective
of ECODIALOGO is to strengthen environmental education in
primary school (mid and upper levels) by means of philosophical
reflection grounded upon interdisciplinary and intercultural
foundations.
In order to favour and promote philosophical dialogue in the
classroom regarding important themes from the point of view
of environmental education, we have drawn on a variety of
sources:
The educational
proposal Philosophy for Children (P4C), one of the fundamental
objectives of which is to introduce philosophical reflection
in primary education in order to help students to think
better for themselves.
Environmental education
subject matter.
Resources from the art
world: painting, literature and music.
ECODIALOGO seeks to
offer resources to promote cooperative, meaningful, critical,
creative and thoughtful in-class dialogue within the context
of environmental education .
