Abstract

This study investigates how the research group Pedagogical Practice in Distance Learning: Innovative Methodologies and Learning Resources PRAPETEC – of the Pontifical Catholic University of Paraná (PUCPR) in partnership with the European project Engage, promoted activities with high school students and to develop new strategies for equipping students to apply scientific knowledge and to develop RRI (Responsible Research and Innovation) research skills during the year 2015. The European project Engage (engagementingscience.eu) aims to increase awareness of Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI). PUCPR in partnership with the Engage project carried out a series of activities, which promoted environmental education involving Agrobiodiversity – Transgenics, through Open Educational Resources (OER) and co-creation. In this context, teachers play an important role in making environmental education more relevant to students' concerns, which are known to be forward-looking. This can increase the likelihood that students can apply what they have learned out of school and respond to social challenges.
