Abstract

The selection of papers in this thematic issue stems from two different albeit interrelated sessions at the 7th EUGEO Congress in Galway (May 15-18, 2019) on the general topic “Reimagining Europe’s future society and landscapes”. The first was a joint EUGEOEUROGEO-IGU sponsored paper and panel session titled “Geography in Higher Education: the role of geography teaching in shaping Europe’s future society and landscapes”; the second was a paper session organized by the Italian Association of Geography Teachers(AIIG) on the topic “Teaching Europe and for Europe. Strategies for a geographical education in critical times”. Even though from different angles and perspectives, the two sessions shared the general idea that geography education at all levels really counts in re-imagining and reshaping future European societies, territories and identities and in reinvigorating the values at the base of the European project.
