Silva MM. Olhares e perspectivas sobre a educacao ambiental, a democracia participativa e o empowerment de criancas e adolescentes em escolas da Rede Municipal de Ensino de Sao Paulo/ The views about environmental education, participative democracy and the children and adolescent's empowerment in schools of the public system of education of Sao Paulo City. [thesis]. Sao Paulo (BR): Faculdade de Saude Publica da Universidade de Sao Paulo: 2009. Introduction: Nowadays the ecological crisis and the environmental problems around the world have been an important preoccupation. To the education it means a great challenge. So, the environmental education in school could provide the empowerment of the students by making them conscious about the values and acts necessary to get a sustainable society. Objectives: To verify if the environmental education had been practiced in the schools; the strategies adopted, the actors, and difficulties of them; to know the opinions and the involvement of teachers, students and parents with participative democracy and protagonist acts of the students; to identify the effects of the education projects in the environmental health and quality of life of the schools. Method: That's a qualitative method with three investigation instruments: focal groups (teachers), interviews (students and parents) and questionnaires (technical groups' members) of ten public schools of Sao Paulo City. Results: A few number of the school developed environmental education, democratic participation and empowerment of their students. Most of them explained that they developed their work by the use of punctual and disconnected actions. In general, teachers showed that they need to be better prepared to this task. Also their work conditions need to be improved. The strong power structure of the schools is a great problem to install the democratic participation of their members. There were different opinions about health environmental conditions of the schools, the educations projects and the governments or members of the schools' papers over them. Conclusions: Traditional curriculums and practices based on old conceptions of education were presented by the most of schools, although they had the aim to make conscious, ethics, participative and happy citizens for a healthy and sustainable society.
