The growing concern with sustainability requires the adoption of more responsible and conscious sustainable practices, given the environmental problems that compromise the quality of life on the planet, in the face of the urgency of climate change. In this context, the modern agricultural production system, in the face of market demand, contributes to this imbalance by promoting an accelerated increase in production, often without regard for the degradation of nature and the health of the population. Therefore, it is essential to reflect on the training of Agricultural Technicians in relation to socio-environmental issues, as they will be a direct agent in facing this problem when entering the world of work. The objective of this research is to promote environmental awareness within the scope of professional and Technological Education at the Federal Institute of Alagoas - IFAL, Campus Satuba, to students of the Agriculture course through the Forum Theater Technique. From this study, a scientific article entitled “Theatre in the classroom: educational-environmental proposal in Professional and Technological education at the Federal Institute of Alagoas” was created as an educational bibliographic product. This is an Environmental Education research that had the theoretical methodological support of Action Research and adopted a qualitative research approach. . As an instrument for collecting and analyzing data, a Reflective Diary and semi-structured questionnaires were used. This investigation was carried out through theatrical workshops, which took place in 07 meetings, at Campus Satuba, from August to September 2023, with 27 students from the 1st year of the Agriculture course. The staging of the theatrical scenes in the classroom took place through the Theater-Forum Technique, by playwright Augusto Boal, encouraging discussions on topics related to environmental issues, focusing on themes present in the daily life of the Agricultural Technician. Two Forum Theater scenes were produced and presented by the students participating in the research, promoting a debate in the class on the topic. The partial results of this investigation resulted in publications of abstracts, in the form of banners and proceedings at local, regional and national events. As Technical Production, educational material/Booklet was produced with the title “Sustainable Agriculture”, addressing the theme of sustainable practices as a tool to ensure the preservation of the environment. An animation video was also created with stories based on the two Forum Theater scenes produced by students. The products created met the proposal of instruments for disseminating and raising awareness of the topic in question. Experience shows that Theater and Action Research enable critical-emancipatory practices for students, contributing to the environmental awareness of participants involved in the investigation. The Forum Theater allows participants to solve or present alternatives to minimize environmental and ethical problems in Técnico's world of work, as the discussion of problems involving environmental issues was encouraged. Theater in Education has potential to transform reality, bringing problems to the classroom, pointing out possible solutions, thus awakening an ecological awareness in future Agricultural Technicians at IFAL, but the intensity in which the information worked on were effectively achieved in students, as they depend on a change in behavior as professionals. And for this measurement, further research on the topic is required.ptEducação Ambiental. Teatro. Ensino Profissional Técnico.DissertaçãoCIENCIAS HUMANAS::EDUCACAO
