Geoscience education plays a critical role in enhancing students' understanding of Earth processes and environmental challenges. Integrating geoscience into school curricula fosters scientific literacy, promotes awareness of natural resources, and helps students grasp the dynamics of climate change, natural disasters, and sustainable development. The session is intended as a discussion table between school and university teachers. The main purpose is to strengthen knowledge and skills in the field of geosciences in the next generation of citizens and professionals. Projects and activities for the dissemination of geological culture in schools will be presented and discussed, with particular attention to innovative experiences related to the 2030 Agenda and the Scientific Degrees Plan (PLS), as well as research experiences in geosciences education and in the professional development of teachers.
