Thinking about the four pillars of “delors” education within the scope of Environmental Education as an instrument of ecological water awareness

Abstract

This text seeks to bring reflections on the importance of establishing a correlation between the pillars of education, presented by Jacques Delors, in the Report produced by UNESCO, entitled "Education: a treasure to be discovered", and the guidelines and objectives of the National Policy for Environmental Education, instituted through Law No 9.795/1999, as a path to ecological water awareness. From this conceptual approach, it is possible to build a human society guided by values that go beyond the merely anthropocentric view, thus recognizing the relevance of the duty of care towards the other individuals that make up nature. From this perspective, one can (re)think about the protection, preservation and respect for other living beings, which make up the living macroorganism called earth. From the methodological perspective, the research is exploratory, based on literature on the subject, international documents and Brazilian legislation.
