The planning and implementation of legal units of environmental management have been
conflicting, generating social and economic predicaments. These conflicts generate cognitive, emotional and
affective movements, that somehow contribute to learning with the operation. The Environmental Education, as
a mediating process, enables the collective construction of the sustainable development process for the
productive sectors, with an open methodological proposal, whose model is to generate solutions from social
participation. In this sense, it is understood that Environmental Education is a process of educational praxis that
aims at building values, attitudes, concepts, skills, standards, knowledge and shared practices for the constructing
a style of thinking that contributes to environmental citizenship. Trying to understand and contribute with this
social dynamics, have been conducted, from 2001 to 2006, numerous and multiple environmental teaching
actions in the highlands region of Santa Catarina. This movement resulted in the development of an open model
of environmental education which is mediated by the environmental perception of social actors involved,
understanding perception as the integration of biological, psychological and social dimensions. Thus, the
proposition for the Open Model of Environmental Education with the paradigm of transdisciplinary opening
mediated by the environmental perception of social actors involved will result in the collective construction of
solutions to local environmental problems.
