Leituras do ambiente em meio empresarial, uma nova experiência de educação literária na família.

Abstract

Our main objective is to offer a

potential contribution to saving the planet and

humanity by combining children's literature

and environmental sciences in a business

setting. Three premises underlie this work: (1)

school is the institution best equipped to train

parents as reading mediators; (2) shared

reading within the family contributes to

creating and strengthening interpersonal

relationships, which tend to translate into

gestures of otherness; (3) only effective

knowledge of nature can generate communion

and commitment, making the adoption of

sustainable attitudes natural. It is from these

considerations, and based on a small corpus of

environmentally oriented children's literature,

which formed the basis of a family literary

education experience in a business context,

that we will reflect. The training of the family

mediator, representations of the environment

in current children's literature, and the shift of

school involvement to other settings are issues

we will address, illustrating them with

excerpts from experiences in this context.

Increased quality family time and well-being

at work are aspects we will consider in a brief

analysis of preliminary results, indicating the

potential of literary education in the family, in

terms of personal, social, and planetary well-being.
