Abstract

The role of Human Sciences, as an area that contributes to citizen education, is present in the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC), approved in 2017, which points out that it is necessary to understand, interpret and evaluate the meanings of past, present and future human actions. future so that the student understands that he is part of a certain historical circumstance, and, therefore, becomes aware and responsible. Based on these guidelines, which involve School Geography, we ask ourselves the following question: to what extent does School Geography contribute to citizen formation? To bring light to this question and others within this context, this text presents some questions in order to reflect on the citizenship education of students through the Teaching of Geography. Through a bibliographic review, we initially discussed the meaning of citizen education and its relationship with the Teaching of Geography. Next, we will briefly present the context of this theme in Brazil and in the European Union, specifically in Italy. At this point, our objective is to understand how such a discussion is inserted in another context. Finally, we seek to point out some considerations, in addition to the common ones, about citizen education.
