Summary

The Passo Fundo Municipal Education Network is composed of 71 schools: 36 of primary education and 35 of early childhood education. There are approximately 18.000 students enrolled and 1800 teachers participating in this network.

In 2020, education worldwide had to reinvent itself because of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Municipality of Passo Fundo began a process of transformation of the teaching network to attend to this new reality. The mission is to ensure pedagogical and infrastructural support to the Municipal Education Network for the education of critical and innovative citizens, capable of generating a positive impact on society.

The Municipal Education Network seeks to be a referent for quality public education in Brazil through science, technology, and innovation. This is based on five core values: a focus on people, transparency, dialogue, excellence, and innovation. The project aims at qualifying the Municipal Education Network’s pedagogical system through actions centered on infrastructure, sustainability development, conflict resolution, and the transformation of schooling spaces into disruptive learning spaces for early childhood education and early and later primary education.

This project promotes the use and installation of composters, Arduino irrigation systems, and stingless bees boxes (meliponines); the generation of QR codes for community flora harvesting; the use of mini meteorological stations; and educational robotics.

The core idea of the project is based on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in particular Goal 2 (Zero Hunger), Goal 4 (Quality Education), and Goal 12 (Responsible Production and Consumption).

Prompting sustainability and environmental awareness actions across the territory. Developing efforts to promote the sustainable development goals (in particular SDGs 2, 4, and 12). Fostering classroom activities through strategies that rely on active methodologies. Developing scientific thought in search of solutions to community problems. Encouraging entrepreneurship and financial education.
The general goal of this proposal is to promote school farms as a didactic-pedagogical strategy for kindergarten and primary education students. Specific goals involve raising awareness in municipal schools about the importance of embracing the farm as a didactic tool; identifying available and adequate spaces for the introduction of the farm in the school environment; incorporating the farm as a didactic strategy in the different curricula, involving the school community in its development; launching the farm project and introducing the school community to the maintenance and care of the crops; seeking alliances to ensure the garden’s sustainability; reducing waste production through an organic school; reusing recyclable materials in school and in the community; and performing socio-educational activities along with the school community. Thus, the Project Ki_da_Hort@ seeks to implement a biological laboratory capable of developing didactic-pedagogical actions and strategies and facilitating the teaching and learning process, using the farm as an alternative to reconnect children with the harvesting process, further allowing for an approach to concepts related to the ecosystem. It also seeks to develop more humane values and emphasize the importance of collective work through the use of robotics kits, promoting scientific thought and forging healthy relations with the environment.
Resources used to allocated from the municipal budget. New alliances with businesses, development institutions, and external public agencies have been sought in order to expand resource contributions and the financial sustainability of the project.
The project introduced is articulated with other municipal secretariats, such as Environment, Interior, Health, Culture, Planning, Citizenship and Social Assistance, Finance, Innovation and Fund-Raising, Economic Development, and Public Works.
Since early 2021, the Secretariat of Education has implemented actions based on demands laid out by the Municipal Education Network for the qualification of education in the municipality.

Education and training
After implementing Project Ki_da_Hort@, a training roadmap was made available for teachers to train them in the development of the project’s activities in all its stages: from practices with project partners, technical visits, lectures, and awareness-raising activities to field research, questionnaire application, and technical support in the selection of materials and farmlands. Community participation has also been promoted.
Promoting digital culture through the development of websites and QR codes for the classification of biomes. Fostering knowledge exchange between locals and immigrants, as well as events for the exchange of experiences held in schools through the Festival of Science, Innovation and Technology (FECIT).
