Rede de cidades da aprendizagem - uma nova perspectiva de educação ambiental: estudo de caso do município de Jaboatão dos Guararapes - Pernambuco, Brasil

Abstract

This research presents discussions about the Policy of the Network of Learning Cities and aims to analyze the process of adherence and permanence of the Municipality of Jaboatão dos Guararapes to the Network of Learning Cities, as determined by the Macro-structuring Policies of UNESCO. It aims to contribute to the construction and consolidation of the project of said municipality for its insertion and permanence in this Network. This paper aimed to present an important literature review study, with a relevant social contribution, since it could directly contribute to the improvement of the public management of Jaboatão dos Guararapes. It is a Case Study from Minayo (2001), which focuses on the particularities and complexity of a contemporary municipal policy, comprising a singular case, allowing a more concrete study. For that, interviews were conducted with education managers, photographic records of the territory and schools engaged with the Policy, as well as bibliographical surveys about the subject. The data collected and analyzed made it possible to realize that Jaboatão dos Guararapes already executes and implements the Key Characteristics of the Policy of the Learning Cities Network, determined by UNESCO. However, it was noted that there is no systematization and there is no municipal policy that refers to this link to the mentioned Network, as well as inefficiency in the dissemination of this policy in the territory. Thus, we present in the considerations of this work, as final product, a Letter of Intent, with suggestions of strategies to be implemented by the municipality, in order to implement this global policy in the territory, as well as assist in the systematization of actions that are already performed and / or suggest new actions to its Learning Plan for Learning Cities Network, with a view to designing this policy, perennially, independently of the manager who is in front of the municipality.
