This article is situated within the intersection of education for social transformation (EST) and ecojustice education (EJE). We have described the benefits of youth participation in an after-school science program offered to socio-economically vulnerable populations in São Paulo (Brazil). More specifically, we explored participants’ changing views of sustainability as they engaged in a 24-week project of their choice: The cultivation of a vertical herb garden. The analysis of our discussions and extensive field notes revealed that during the time participants cared for the garden, they developed: (a) A more accurate (refined) conceptualization of sustainability, (b) an appreciation for alternative and viable ways of producing food in urban settings, and (c) a stronger relationship with one another. In the end, involvement in the vertical garden project proved to be a powerful example of how science education can transform the livelihood of youth by expanding their views on human interconnectedness with all forms of life.

O crescente consumo de produtos midiáticos tem tornado a mídia um importante agente socializador e educativo, assim como a escola e a família. Filmes, livros, etc., altamente consumidos pelo público jovem, contribuem para a formação de um senso de classe, raça e sexualidade, bem como das relações de poder na sociedade. Entretanto, acreditamos que os produtos midiáticos também oferecem recursos para contestação do discurso dominante. Pensando nisso, este trabalho pretende analisar como atividades de difusão científica a partir de videoclipes podem estimular debates acerca de questões de gênero.
