Abstract
Civic and geographic education determines, fosters, and consolidates governance systems. To this end, calling for the participation of young people is both indispensable and difficult. The case study that we discuss in this chapter, the “We Propose” Project (PNP), makes use of geography's own competences to operationalize principles that reinforce the citizenship and governance systems needed to consolidate democracy. The results show that this case study has the right principles and methodology to engage young people. These aspects are significant to the construction of public policies that foster civic education, territorial culture, and civic participation in governance systems.
