Description
Summary:The inclusion of courses in environmental education in the curriculum of health sciences is still limited in Brazil. Then, the objective of the present study was to develop a Creative Presentation for the Solid Health Waste Disposal theme, in order to contemplate an Educational Approach in Health as a prerequisite for the Work Safety discipline, in the Technical Nursing Course. The students created a Poem that describes how solid health waste is classified, how and where each type of waste should be separated and if the waste causes any damage to the environment and/or public health. As a result, the students were stimulated with active methodologies that favor learning and allow the teaching and learning processes to surpass the walls of the school, especially when this exercise is performed by nursing students, who will be future health educators.
