Summary: This research in environmental education addresses the ecological and community relations of local cultural expressions and pedagogical practices and projects carried out in the daily school routines of the Adão Benezath Municipal Elementary School (EMEF), located in the Antônio Honório neighborhood, in Vitória, capital of Espírito Santo. Its general objective is to map and problematize the experiences, educational projects, and practices that address the ecological and community potential, as well as the environmental problems of mangroves, with an anti-racist pedagogical policy in environmental education, contributing to local knowledge networks and the school's Action Plan. Among the specific objectives, the aim is to: 1) map and problematize, with the participation of the community (students and teachers), local cultural expressions, projects, and pedagogical practices that address the ecological problems and potential of the surrounding area; 2) create a collection with the participation of the school community, gathering documents, maps, photographs, pedagogical projects and other cultural artifacts about the school. To this end, this study adopts Freire's perspective of education as a theoretical framework, in dialogue with authors from the field of Environmental Education and Autopoietic Learning Territories, with a view to decolonial ecology, recognizing other ancestral knowledge and worldviews. Narrative research is used as a methodological approach, mapping projects and practices carried out with/by teachers and local residents who live near the school. In this context, the study is based on the daily activities of schools, affirming the ethical and political attitude of dialogicity in the research process with different subjects. As a result, this work aims to map the projects and pedagogical practices carried out in the daily school life of EMEF Adão Benezath in dialogue with local cultural expressions, as well as to create an itinerant, interactive, accessible and inclusive pedagogical exhibition/workshops that contribute to anti-racist environmental education and as a practice of freedom.
