Implantação de um jardim sensorial na escola municipal Pedro Álvares Cabral, Santa Helena - Pr

Abstract

This work presents a proposal for a Sensory Garden within the Pedro Álvares Cabral Municipal School, located in the district of São Roque in the municipality of Santa Helena, which aimed to create a space where students and others would have contact with an informal teaching environment, in this case a sensory garden. Starting from a learning environment, it was considered working in this garden activities that stimulate the senses. Sensory gardens, when implemented in school institutions, constitute an informal teaching modality, environments that aim for their visitors to provide a leisure environment where affective memories can be created or recalled and enjoy good moments disconnecting from the troubled life, in everyday urban life. A sensory garden was built with 25 botanical species organized on pallets and tires, a path with different textures and some environmental education activities were carried out. In this context, the sensory garden was extremely important for the school environment, through this work, one can observe how much the environment has changed, going from an area that was in disuse, to an area with a completely different landscape aspect and passing to be a welcoming environment for all employees and students.
