Due to the urgency of undertaking an eco-social transition to face the global environmental crisis, it is necessary to promote an ecosocial education that enables the young generations to develop a critical framework of knowledge, thinking and action that links globalizing processes with transformations that occur at the local scale, since this is where these environmental crisis is reflected but also where ecosocial alternatives must materialize, from degrowth to the energy transition, etc._x000D_
In this context, landscape, as a social construction, emerges as the crossroads between these transformations, at the same time that it is where issues such as belonging, the generation of community and identity and the socio-community creation of space, are structured._x000D_
That is why the landscape has been a vehicular axis of many curricular proposals in the secondary stage, generating a great variety of projects, initiatives and didactic resources. But do these proposals respond to the requirements for a critical and committed eco-social literacy of the young generations? Are they inter and transdisciplinary proposals, which break rigid conceptual frameworks and allow the social sciences, the natural sciences, the arts, etc., going to meet? Or are they, on the contrary, proposals that conform to the official curricula and therefore perpetuate knowledge-thought-action frameworks that reproduce the social and cultural superstructures of capitalism?_x000D_
This communication will show the partial results of an on-going doctoral research that analyses a multitude of projects and resources that have the landscape and the territory as a vehicular axis based on four variables: degree of territorialization, that is, the scale of work; variety of educational competences implemented, from the acquisition of knowledge to the promotion of action and socio-community and participatory commitment; degree of methodological diversity; and degree of inter and transdisciplinarity.
