At the postgraduate level, students must be encouraged to interpret theories and position themselves as regards empirical, scientific discussions. Accordingly, we developed this teaching case, whose purpose is to provide an educational experience focused on the environmental dimension, in the "Governance and Sustainability" class of a postgraduate course in Business Administration. During this experiment, the subjects of the study comprised fifty-nine(59) students who had enrolled in the subject over the past three years. The pedagogical practice used in the discipline in question was referred to as participatory as it combines the academic requirements, controlled by the teacher, with creativity and the demands of the students, which come together in a joint teaching construction in the light of thepostulates of Freire. At the start of the course, it was found that the students had a low level of understanding of the natural environment and its singularities. However, during the dialogues, debates and technical visits proposed over the course of the semester, a significant change in the students’ understanding and behavior regarding environmental issues was observed.
