Abstract

Environmental Education (EE) is considered, in international declarations and in brasilian laws, as a dimension of the Education itself. One implication of this is that all teachers are involved in it. In Brazil the 9795 law, April 27 1999, determines that all teachers have to study EE, when they are in graduation or by inservice studies. In order to facilitate these studies for teachers from all the country, we began at Brasilia University an online course in EE. The methodology they learn at the course helps them to insert EE in their own school discipline, considering their own surrounding reality. The focus includes sustainability, and we call the methodology "Sustainable Environmental Education".
