We are feeling the increase in environmental problems in our daily lives. Environmental education therefore plays its part in tackling the environmental crisis, and is committed to changing values, behaviors, feelings and attitudes towards environmental problems. With this in mind, this work is based on the idea of raising awareness among Ecology students in the 2nd year of the Technical Course in the Environment at Ifal/Campus Marechal Deodoro about the problems arising from the improper disposal of solid waste in the coastal environment and encouraging them to come up with solutions to the problem of environmental pollution, with the aim of filling any gaps in their learning. To this end, we opted for a participatory approach using active learning methodology mediated by works as the didactic strategy to be applied in the intervention. The result is expected to be significant changes in solid waste disposal habits in the coastal region as a result of the students acting as multiplier agents among their families and communities, contributing to the sustainability of this vital ecosystem.Acesso AbertoEducação ambientalIntervenção pedagógicaEcossistemas costeirosEducação profissionalizanteEnvironmental educationPedagogical interventionCoastal ecosystemsVocational educationTrabalho de Conclusão de CursoCIENCIAS HUMANAS
