Abstract

This research project aims to create a pre-feasibility paper about the Environmental Education Program of GADMA, to be able to increase the environment awareness in children of primary schools of Ambato. The following research methods were applied for its development: analytical - synthetic, inductive- deductive and the logical- historic methods; the instruments such as the interview and the surveys were used; and the proposal includes general information, the project executor, coverage and location, amount, execution plan, scope, principles, diagnosis, skills, assessment and education program. Taking into consideration the problems that nowadays are identified, there is the lack of advising about the environment, which causes that there is a greater environmental damage. Education is unavoidable for such purpose in order to focus the activities and values to be able to make changes towards a development to satisfy current needs without risking future generations. It is concluded that there is the need to make children aware of environmental issues, taking into account the environmental problems that the Municipality must face which in most cases is the lack of environmental awareness and thus, the application of this educational project is very important from a municipal authorities perspective, due to the fact that citizen awareness is focused on our reality. It is recommended that this proposal is applied as a vital tool to start a training process for awareness about environmental processes and the actions that must be taken to solve them.
