Youth and Geography Teaching

Abstract

The article addresses the youth category and its relation with the teaching of Geography. Contemporary young people have different characteristics that when they experience, seek identification. It is known that the teaching of Geography may significantly contribute, when the teacher seeks to know his student and from there, seeks to make an interaction between the students' prior knowledge and the scientific knowledge of the teacher. It is necessary to deepen the debates on the subject in research. Therefore, we sought an initial theoretical reflection through print and digital media, on contemporary young people and their relations with the teaching of Geography and how it, can contribute to the citizen formation of these individuals.
