Abstract

This article results from a theoretic-bibliographical research that focuses on Environmental Educationunder a multicultural perspective. For that purpose, the discussion about globalization and the relation between Multiculturalism and Environmental Education takes into consideration the urgency of thematter among educators, researchers, the university and other social sectors such as governmental andnon-governmental organizations. It is assumed that Education as a social practice and promoter of thedemocratic citizenship should be guided by multicultural purposes, corroborating inter-cultural practices.The Environmental Education is one of the Educational dimensions that can contribute significantly tothe advance of socio-cultural practices. Such perspective leads to thinking about and constructing educational strategies in order to professionally develop and endow educators with an interdisciplinary andcomplex view of the world, within the context of environmental education on a multicultural perspective.
