Abstract(s)
Since childhood, education is an essential element in shaping and building knowledge, wisdom and character. What the child absorbs in this knowledge shapes their interest in their attitudes and preferences, directly impacting their school career and, consequently, their professional career. More importantly, education directly impacts the skills each individual is equipped with and can use daily. Skills in the field of sustainability, for example, have become quite relevant nowadays as we need increasingly more technological solutions that have less impact on the environment. If students do not have these skills, then this will mean that professionals in the labor market will not have sufficient skills to respond to the needs of society, and consequently fail to meet national and governmental commitments to outlined goals. It therefore becomes important to understand students' needs for a more complete education adjusted to the needs of society, preparing these future professionals for an increasingly technological, demanding and competitive labor market. This study aims to provide an overview and approach to some findings within the scope of an educational project in STEAM learning and an ERASMUS + project related to education and sustainability.
