But often offered by the school system is a set of concepts (density, birth, death, migration) and a large amount of data (rates, indices, absolute numbers) in more than one occasion you do forget what your interest in learning about human facts. The aim of this paper is to show how you can work population and geographical space in Primary Education (6 to 12 years old) and see an alternative in Gea-Clio’s project.
