Inter-Organizational Collaborative Networks in the 'Garbage To Animal' Project of the Federal Institute Of Santa Catarina - Campus De Itajaí

Abstract

Environmental education has a fundamental role in building a more responsible society, especially when organizations operate in the form of collaborative networks. The work analyzed the collaborative relations between the social actors that are part of the extension project 'From garbage to animal' carried out by the Federal Institute of Santa Catarina - Campus Itajaí. The work is an applied, descriptive research, of quantitative and qualitative analysis, which used an electronic questionnaire as an instrument. The results showed that there is a collaborative relationship between the participants in the project network and that there is a contribution to sustainable practices. However, there is a need to reinforce the network identity, bringing participants closer to all stages of the project, and to conduct training moments, aiming at strengthening the network.
