Description:Aula en el Bosque (“Classroom in the Forest”) has over 3 000 preschool and elementary school students. We applied pre and post-tests to one school per level, and to one control school. The evaluation process was in three phases: A. assessment of student comprehension and implication on the resolution of environmental issues. B. In situ development of the program in real time. C. Teachers perception of program reach. The students exposed to the program developed their own knowledge of the official curriculum, and strenghtened especially values and environmental attitudes, as confirmed by the teachers.
