摘要：The extension project "Ecological education, regional development, and global citizenship: preserving urban streams in the metropolitan region of Maringá" is an interdisciplinary project which aims to raise both current and future citizen's awareness towards the preservation of urban streams and valley bottoms. The implementation of the project consisted of scientific exhibitions at schools in the metropolitan region of Maringá and shared participation with various areas of expertise, such as biology, psychology, geography, and performing arts. Psychology then analyzed the effectiveness of the activities carried out at the schools and indicated that the proposal for environmental education was more focused on the behavioral dimension of “saying” than “doing”. This psychological analysis suggested some alterations to the project so that students not only said about environmental preservation, but also emitted behaviors considered pro-environmental.
