This article presents an analysis of the environmental education project “Letter Written in 2070”, carried out at EMEF Gonçalo Vieira, in Breu Branco (PA), with the participation of approximately 900 students from the 6th to the 9th grade of elementary school. Conceived by teacher Clerisvani S. Silva, co-coordinated by teacher Helena Soares, and supported by other faculty members and pedagogical coordinators, the project involved textual production inspired by the short film of the same name, selection of essays, public voting through social media, and publication of a printed anthology. The study highlights the potential of creative writing practices and cultural mediation in fostering environmental awareness and community engagement, linking critical pedagogy and emancipatory environmental education. Furthermore, the project incorporated the use of digital technologies to expand social reach and strengthen students’ digital culture.
