Thus, the research started with the apprehension of representations that these students have about the city they live in, which provides quality of life in this city and interferes with the improvement about life quality. During the research was observed that most of case group would like to study and move to another place, because they can’t conceive betterments about life quality where they stay. On the other hand, was also noticeable that affective links among families and friends help them to look in a affectionate way the local around them and this could be the starting point to an environmental legitimated education. Therefore, this project was suggested to SESI, for the year of 2014, which goal is to foment a self-analysis and to offer the students knowledge that can help them to make good choices and bring betterments on life wherever they are.Acesso AbertoConhecimento científicoScientific knowledgeExperiência culturalCultural experienceEducação ambiental legitimadaEnvironmental legitimated educationDissertaçãoPlanejamento Urbano e RegionalPlanejamento Ambiental
