This research shows the benefits of applying the innovative program "Common House" that allows students to develop knowledge, attitudes and behaviors that demonstrate and consolidate a fraternal relationship with Sister Nature. Fourteen sessions were held in the experimental group and there was a control group that served to compare the impact of the program. The sample consisted of 50 high school students from an Educational Institution in Lima. To measure the level of ecological awareness, a Likert scale was created that was validated by expert judgment and reached a reliability of Cronbach's Alpha = .910. The results of the program were estimated by the non-parametric rank statistic of U Mann Whitney (p < α = 0.05). It is concluded that the “Common House” program is effective in developing levels of ecological awareness in secondary school students.
