Abstract

Environmental education is paramount in school curriculum frameworks, however, their methods and component required. It is interesting to analyze how development processes such as leadership skills and the impact of it in the forms of land ownership is structured. The study population ismade up of teachers and students from the School Environmental Committee (CAE), 2013-2015, the District School Eduardo Umaña Mendoza of Bogota. The qualitative research is a descriptive perspective. After validation of tools (interviews, semi-structured survey and focus groups), the work field, accompanied by documentary CAE analysis was performed. Analysis instruments allowed revealing relationships between processes of leadership training from school and the ways in which young people perceive their territory and act against environmental problems. Poor training in environmental leadership in school, makes students and graduates manifest disregard for its territory. Young people are looking for opportunities for social convergence, there is a synergy between the terms youth and participation. The local environment defines the profile of the environmental leader, the school should be involved more in the process of formation. The training of environmental leaders, requires consideration of factors such as culture and territorial identity; characterize the subject type you want and the profile of the environmental leader is needed; endow knowledge, senses and actions that may be characteristic of a leader.
