Abstract
In this time of ours we definitely need to multiply the approaches, linkages, connectedness, cross-boundaries gatherings and holistic views as soon as we talk about environmental education. Environmental education came to age integrating diversity and complexity, promoting meetings in multilevel ways, namely with other species, weaving bonds of communication and pushing thought in direct experience with the natural world. Replying to that challenges, the ID-NATURA project encourages multi-meetings between pupils of all school levels (kindergarten, elementary, secondary), teachers and researchers from different disciplinary areas and among those and the natural world, specifically the “river of my village...”. This paper is inspired by J. W. Goethe’s methodology of knowing nature, the delicate empiricism; Goethe’s approach to nature is valued, as a way to educate for sustainability, and some important results this project are presented through pupils’ voices.
