The 2030 Agenda is an essential topic for the training of students, as they must be prepared for the new challenges that the global and local situation imposes on them. It is in this conception that this study aims to reflect on the perspective of inserting environmental agendas in schools based on a training action with teachers in light of the Sustainable Development Goals. The study is characterized as field research, with a qualitative approach, and was developed with the participation of 65 teachers linked to the Department of Education of the municipality of Carnaúba dos Dantas, in the state of Rio Grande do Norte-RN. We created a training workshop on the 2030 Agenda and its objectives so that the professionals involved were invited to discuss and propose actions to create an agenda, in a participatory way, for the municipality where they work. With the data obtained in the process, it was possible to see that the proposed models for carrying out the training were purposeful and integrative; that there are gaps, especially with regard to Education for Sustainability in teaching practice, and that the possibility of extrapolating traditional practices in schools, when it comes to sustainability, is real, as teachers have drawn up concrete proposals (an agenda) for critical and participatory way. We emphasize that this movement of formation, construction and execution of the agenda can bring very fruitful results, as it is a process built from the inside out by agents who thought about the problem and the demands to solve them.
