Abstract

In a world where environmental challenges are intensifying day by day, the need for comprehensive environmental education becomes more urgent than ever, the growing concern about climate change, The loss of biodiversity and degradation of natural resources underlines the importance of nurturing ecological awareness. Environmental education not only seeks to inform society about environmental problems, but also to promote a deep understanding of the interactions between humans and their environment (Mayor, A. 2019) In Mexico, a country with rich ecological and cultural diversity, Environmental education emerges as an essential tool to address the growing environmental challenges (SEMARNAT, 2016). In response to these challenges, various government institutions, especially the Secretary of the Environment and civil society organizations have intensified their efforts to develop and implement policies and programmes aimed at mitigating environmental impact. In this sense, the present internship held at the Ministry of the Environment (Morelia, Mexico), seeks that through the development of the program entitled "Education, training and environmental communication for sustainability", different activities are created to form and promote the culture and environmental awareness in the Mexican population. During the internship, a number of methods were used to carry out the analysis and development of objectives, among these methods included the review of relevant documents on public policies and environmental education programmes, the development of a comparative matrix to evaluate strategies in different aspects, and the planning and design of an integrated environmental education programme, these methodological approaches allowed for a detailed view of current practices , The training course also presented certain limitations, among which the difficulty of accessing up-to-date and complete data due to variability in the availability of information across states was highlighted, Also developed a deep understanding of environmental education strategies in Mexico and their alignment with the internship objectives
