Description:
This is the result of a research about the contributions of the Brazilian CulturalAnthropophagi, in its overflowing post 1922 Modern Art Week, to the formation of teachers in generaland in environmental education, in particular. This research is being developed since the last fouryears and it is being funded by CAPES and by CNPq. In teachers’ formation, in environmentaleducation, knowledge and experiences are a repertory that can not be disregarded. Teachers’formation can’t be based only in the transmission of knowledge and in techniques. We try todemonstrate in the text that the ideas that orientate anthropophagic thought constitute in a calling inthe sense of showing that the educative process needs to seek for new speakers. It is not acceptableanymore, that we continue to repeat norms, rules, and importing models without doing its properdevouring. The cultural anthropophagi and the environmental education have both, in their origins,this commitment: to dialogue with the other without, however, giving up its own being.
