Through interdisciplinary dialogue with theoretical references of Geography, Education and Philosophy, we aim at contributing to debates about "environmental education", proposing new perspectives of analysis supported by the political thoughts and teachings of Milton Santos, Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Paulo Freire. We believe that, if the determinant factor for the extinction of the vital elements of the geographic means and the sustainable conditions of life on planet Earth is the result of relations established between human beings, in culturally heterogeneous social systems, a change of point of view is necessary in the face of environmental problems in the field of education. This way, the focus goes from the dynamic of human being x nature, or, still, society x nature, to society x geographic means, what suggests a "socioenvironmental" education.
