In this paper we analyze the environmental problems in the student residence "Julio Antonio Mella" of the Universidad de Oriente, whose causes are based on insufficient environmental education in the scholarship students who live transiently during the course of their studies. This, coupled with an inadequate action in environmental care and protection, affects the environment. To reverse this situation, the objective is to design methodological guidelines for the educational team to promote environmental education in this community, using various methods and procedures to carry out a coherent analysis of the existing problem, as a process in transformation.
