A contribuição dos estágios em gestão territorial e educação ambiental para a formação em Geografia

Abstract

This memorial presents my academic and professional training trajectory in Geography at the Federal University of Ceará. In this sense, the work aims to discuss the contributions of practical experiences developed during supervised internships to my professional formation as a geographer. It traces my academic path, which began in 2019, highlighting participation in environmental education outreach projects such as Sala Verde Água Viva and Museu Mundo Livre, as well as my involvement with the UFC Accessibility Office. The analysis focuses on two professional trajectories: territorial management at the Fortaleza Municipal Department of Finance (SEFIN) and socio-environmental consultancy at Fokus Sustainability Engineering. At SEFIN, emphasis is placed on the use of geotechnologies for urban and fiscal planning; at Fokus, the discussion addresses the implementation of the Environmental Education Program (PEA) and conflict mediation in communities affected by hydroelectric power plants. The study concludes that the articulation between the technical rigor of geoprocessing and the social sensitivity inherent to Geography was decisive in consolidating my professional identity to date, validating the geographer’s competence in both physical-spatial planning and social transformation. Keywords: experience, environmental education, territorial management, internships.
