SUMMARY:

To evaluate how the practice of composting plant waste makes it possible to broaden the perception of the importance of agroecology and environmental education in citizenship education. The work was developed at the Dom José Baréa State Elementary School in the municipality of Três Cachoeiras, in the North Coast Region of Rio Grande do Sul, during the first semester of 2024, with students from the 4th year of the school. The dissertation was organized and structured in stages: awareness; practical activities; data collection and systematization and analysis of information. Using the methodology of participatory action research. The action research methodology is an approach that aims to promote social change through research and practical action. It involves collaboration between researchers and community participants to identify and solve practical problems, it is a type of social research that is conducted in close collaboration with a community or organization, with the aim of promoting social change and solving practical problems. Awareness consists of holding meetings with the school board to talk about the implementation of activities, meetings with teachers through presentations of images and videos of experiences related to the theme of composting. The practical activities were carried out with the involvement of elementary school students who form the working group on composting. The third stage of the research will be carried out through interviews with semi-structured questionnaires (Appendix A), with the students and teachers who are involved. 12 students and 3 teachers were interviewed. The estimated time for the interview was 10 minutes and there was an audio recording of the interview content. The final stage of the research was the organization, systematization and analysis of the data collected. During the research activities, 15 meetings were held at the school between February and July. There were 11 workshops on composting and about 368 kilos of organic waste generated at the school were recycled and destined for composting. The interviews proved that practices related to composting at school are an excellent tool for environmental education for the citizenship formation of young elementary school students. As a technical product, a booklet was prepared on the practice of composting at school, which can be used as a contribution to the didactic material of the schools of the municipality, as a way of socializing about the importance of composting as a practice of environmental education
