In this article, I organize the application of a methodology involving (auto)biographical narratives that emerges from initial teacher education practices with Geography students. The proposal, which I call Educational Scenarios, integrates the creation of Role-Playing Game (RPG) scenarios with methodological knowledge drawn from Delory-Momberger’s Biographization (2011), Geo(BIO)graphy (Portugal, 2013), and Auto(hetero)biographization (Abrahão, 2023). The objective of the article addresses three main points: to assess the potential of creating functional and dynamic scenarios that may serve as teacher training, to analyze the life experiences narrated and discussed through the (auto)biographical method with Geography students, and to understand how the concept of Place, as narrated by these students, reverberates on the construction of their teaching identity. We consider that this methodology is potent, and that it can foster a deep awareness of the lived experiences of the participating Geography students, opening up spaces for the exploration of sensitive themes, conceptual deepening, and a broader understanding of the teaching experience throughout the training process.
