Training In Values for Environmental Care at the San Isidro Labrador Educational Institution, Atánquez (Cesar)

Introduction: This research article examines environmental values ​​training at the San Isidro Labrador Educational Institution (Atánquez, Kankuamo Indigenous Reservation, Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta), understood as a pedagogical strategy to strengthen a culture of care and environmental preservation. It begins with the specific problems of inadequate waste management, loss of vegetation cover, and low community participation. It proposes coordinating processes of awareness, dissemination, and situated practice of values ​​such as respect, responsibility, belonging, and solidarity. Methods: Methodologically, a descriptive-projective experience is used, supported by Participatory Action Research (PAR), surveys, and observation, aimed at promoting the PRAE (Prae) and connecting students, families, and teachers. Results and conclusions: The results reflect advances in awareness and appropriation, along with persistent challenges (recycling habits, school organization, and community networks). The relevance of Colombian regulatory frameworks and theoretical references on pro-environmental values ​​and behavior is discussed. It concludes with lines of pedagogical action and school management integrated into the Kankuamo context.
