A Question of Geography Literacy: Geographical Studies on Covid Sars 2 and Lifelong Education
Abstract
Social vulnerability highlights the need for geographic literacy to promote social responsibility. The local impacts of global hazards highlight the necessity to enhance geographic skillsets in order to build community resilience, starting from specific learning contexts. This contribution underlines the strong educational relations between geographical studies on Covid Sars 2 and the main basic subjects and goals of the didactics of geography.References
