Informe de Sistematización del Proyecto de Aplicación Profesional de Educación y Desarrollo Sostenible: reflexión individual del Informe de Sistematización del Proyecto de Aplicación Profesional “Educación y Desarrollo Sostenible”

Abstract

The following document presents the development of the Professional Application Project Education and Sustainable Development approached to the basin of the Daule river, a tributary that benefits four provinces of the coast of Ecuador and more than four million people, and carried out by a multidisciplinary group of graduates of Universidad Casa Grande. Education and Sustainable Development was born as an alternative to promote a sustainable management of the aforementioned water source and to reduce the environmental difficulties that the land crossed by the river flows, such as the minimal vegetation cover in specific áreas or the high risk of natural disasters, such as forest fires or landslides, caused by the constant unsustainable agricultural and livestock practices. Education, in this program, will be the tool that will create changes in the population that has the Daule river as its main water source. In this research, the educational reality of the institutions was taken into account, such as the capacity of teachers, infrastructure, contextualized curriculum or lack of green areas where the subject is taught. Throughout this project, conclusions will be systematized after qualitative and quantitative research, including interviews with primary stakeholders plus spatial analysis, which resulted in the creation of a multi-stakeholder agenda as a possible solution to reverse the damage to the tributary.
