Abstract

[International geographic education emerged at the beginning of the nineteenth century, as a consequence of the progressive implementation of modern educational systems in European countries. This process coincided with the consolidation of geography as a scientific discipline and with the creation of different national geographical societies. The foundation of the IGU in 1922 fostered the diffusion of the concept of international understanding in educational curricula, first at the various International Geographical Congresses, and later with UNESCO's initiatives for the international teaching of geography, which led to the creation of the IGU Commission on Geographical Education in 1952. Source Books for Geography Teaching (1965 and 1982), International Charters on Geographical Education (1992 and 2016), Symposia of Commission on Geographical education, collaboration with other associations (like EUROGEO, AAG, SEAGA), international projects and publications, International Geographical Olympiads, etc., have contributed to the internationalisation of geographical education. Thus, geography educators worldwide can network, share experiences in curriculum, pedagogies and assessment, collaborate in good practices and instructional resources like geospatial technologies, or promote global understanding and a planetary citizenship seeking a sustainable development.]
