The erosion process occurring in Atafona has been the subject of numerous scientific studies; however, the population that experiences this reality daily often does not understand how this process occurred. This article addresses the theme of Environmental Education, focusing on the creation of an environmental booklet about the erosion process on Atafona beach, São João da Barra, RJ. The methodological proposal aims to be applied in a municipal school located near the area affected by erosion. The main objective of this work was the development, production, and dissemination of an environmental booklet that informs and raises awareness among the school community, especially students, about the causes, consequences, and possible solutions to the problem of coastal erosion in Atafona. The booklet will serve as a tool to facilitate understanding of the phenomenon and encourage active participation in the search for mitigation and adaptation alternatives. The methodology envisions collaboration between the school and the community, using the booklet as a resource to promote discussions, practical activities, and projects that engage students in environmental issues. The intention is that, by understanding the complexity of the erosion process and its local impact, students will become agents for disseminating knowledge and promoting behavioral change in their families and the community. In short, the initiative proposes a contextualized and relevant pedagogical approach to the reality of Atafona, transforming the environmental challenge into an opportunity for learning and social mobilization.
