SUMMARY:

This work is born from the interest and love built by the community of Morro do Ferro,
during our work as a teacher, also involved in actions to preserve the natural environment
of this district. Its culture, its people, its people provided the epistemological curiosity by
the way in which they build a relationship with their environment, amid trajectories
permeated by historicity and animosity. Thus, having as main objective the construction
of an understanding about the way teachers from Morro do Ferro, district of Oliveira, in
Minas Gerais, construct meaning about the relations they establish with their
environmental reality from a process that intends to foment the problematization, the

reflection and the awareness from the processes of voçorocamento, experienced as "limit-
situations" by this community, we launched ourselves into a research, having in view the

Freirean precepts, as an investigation methodology. To do so, we problematized issues
closely related to the daily life of the district's residents, through Formative Circles, taking
into account the Culture Circles promoted by Paulo Freire. We sought to build an
interactive and dialogical relationship among the research participants. With this goal in
mind, we first discuss our construction as a teacher-researcher, considering a history that
is somehow intertwined with the history of our research participants. Next, we present
Freire's problematic, inspired by his experiences, so that our Formative Circles can be
built. The discussions took place online, as a result of the Covid-19 Pandemic, over nine
meetings, each lasting about 60 minutes. Through our process of thematic investigation,
in the (re)knowledge about their experiences, generating themes emerged, taking into
account the use of a methodological approach based on research-training: Life and(in)
formation; Culture, work, and nature; Faith, legend, and mythification of reality;
Knowledge, Education, and Awareness. We understand the Formative Circles as
opportunities for the teachers to reflect about their individual realities, the way they deal
with the environment of Morro do Ferro, as well as to think about subsidies for their own
educational praxis. Through the discussions held in these Circles, it was possible to think
about the reality of Morro do Ferro in a critical way, in order to provide not only a
liberating education, considering that teachers are agents of change, not only in the school
environment, but in the whole community. We end up with the certainty that the 'people'
of Morro do Ferro seek, in the midst of faith, culture, and exchange of knowledge, to
reaffirm their identity, building relationships based on love and humanization.
