Abstract

The EcoEscolaBH program is an environmental education program of the municipal school system of Belo Horizonte, Brazil. In partnership with the Technical School of High School of UFMG and the School of Veterinary Medicine of UFMG, two short-term training workshops were offered on the potential use of aquaponics in educational activities. Eighty-nine kindergarten and elementary school teachers participated in the workshops. Diagnostic forms were made available to educators at the beginning and end of each workshop to assess their perceptions before and after the workshops and the possible impact of changing these perceptions. A descriptive analysis of these two moments and the effectiveness of a short workshop to present an innovative pedagogical tool are discussed here.
