• Resumen

  • The Spanish presence with contributions on geographical education atthe International Geographical Congresses dates back to the end of the 19th century,atthe conferences prior to 1922. However, after the founding of the IGU a centuryago, the presence of geographical education went relatively unnoticed during threedecades of International Geographical Congresses, until the creation in 1952, at theXVII Congress, of the then called Commission on the Teaching of Geography inSchools, currently the Commission on Geographical Education of the InternationalGeographical Union (IGU-CGE), which Spain joined twelve years later. Thiscontribution aims to review the debates, contents and contributions of Spanishgeographers to international geographic education up to the centenary year 2022,through the scientific contributionsto the IGU and the aforementioned Commission,such as the IGU Congresses, the IGU-CGE Symposia, the publications, activitiesand projects of the Commission and, above all, the International Charters onGeographic Education.
