Geography Education and Citizenship Education in Portugal

SAGE Open, 2012, vol. 2, issue 4, 2158244012471956

Abstract: The contribution of geography education to citizenship education is recognized by geography educators. Still, globalization created new territories and new “borders†not always easy to cross—but they all exist and coexist giving new meanings to the idea of space appropriation. Geographical space has gained all these dimensions and can no longer be viewed in terms of its materiality. This article addresses the concept of citizenship education for Portuguese geography teachers within the multicultural nature of Portuguese society and schools. A final reference is given to the importance of cities as places of citizenship education.
