The Schools of the Territory Program (IEAR/UFF) offers continuing education for teachers who work in schools located in the caiçara, indigenous and quilombola territories of Paraty and Angra dos Reis, in partnership with the Municipal and State Departments of Education of Rio de Janeiro, through Technical Cooperation Agreements. The training methodology is focused on the construction of differentiated curricula with traditional communities, supported by participatory action research that seeks to identify curricular components that strengthen the languages, knowledge and traditional cultures of these communities.

Differentiated Education understands school education as an instrument for defending territories, promoting the collective construction of an integrated and interdisciplinary curriculum. This curriculum aims to strengthen local culture, establishing a permanent dialogue between school knowledge and the traditional knowledge of communities. Differentiated Education strives to guarantee the provision of Elementary Education in the communities themselves, articulating its curriculum with the rural, ethnic context and local traditions.

The exchanges carried out by Fiocruz and FCT through the OTSS are training meetings based on the ecology of knowledge, which aim to articulate, qualify and reapply the experiences existing in traditional territories. These meetings promote the exchange of experiences between community members and non-community members and the integration of the experiences offered by each community. At the end of each exchange, a common agenda is agreed upon, with a collaborative implementation plan.

The Basic Training Course for Community Leaders is an initiative aimed at training leaders of traditional communities that face significant impacts due to oil exploration, real estate speculation and the expansion of large-scale projects in their territories of origin. The course's main objective is to strengthen the skills and knowledge of these leaders, enabling them to act more effectively in the defense of their rights and in the sustainable management of their territories. Through theoretical and practical modules, participants are prepared to face socio-environmental challenges and promote social justice in their communities.

The Political-Pedagogical Coordination (CPP) is a collective that holds political-pedagogical debates for the construction of the Socio-Environmental Training Network, as provided for by the Networks Project, a condition of the federal environmental licensing process conducted by Ibama. Composed of 30 members, the CPP includes 07 members of the Political-Pedagogical Management Nucleus (NGPP), 06 representatives of the field team, 14 community members and 03 representatives of community organizations with macro-territorial and/or national scope. The representatives must have a deep understanding of community educational processes, understand the political-pedagogical role of the Socio-Environmental Training Network and be able to dialogue with the base about the construction of the network, ensuring that it is inclusive and participatory, reflecting the needs and perspectives of the communities involved.

The course seeks to explore the different ways in which territories and knowledge are mutually produced, constituting new forms of political thought and action. With two classes of 20 students each, located in Paraty and Angra dos Reis, the course began in 2020 with the first class and in 2023 with the second. The course lasts six semesters, covering six mandatory subjects and six optional subjects of free choice. Promoted by the Angra dos Reis Institute of Education (Fluminense Federal University), Bocaina Observatory of Sustainable and Healthy Territories (OTSS), Integrated Management Center - Paraty of the Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation (ICMBIO) and Angra Ecological Protection Society (SAPE), the course aims to integrate theory and practice to foster socio-environmental and political development in the participating communities.
