The article presents the meaning, place and role of cultural education, education of culture and intercultural education in Polish teaching of geography.
According to the literature these thematic links can be important elements in reaching the leading goal of education; that is to prepare students for adult life in individual and social dimensions. The author gives a justification of this proposed thesis with establishments meaning of cultural education and education of culture in the context of geography teaching. These changes in programme of Polish geography education create an enormous possibility for the proper realisation of the paramount aim of education, that is to prepare students for adult life; the proper realisation of subject aims in desired hierarchy (from convictions and attitudes, skills to understanding patterns); while also increasing the prestige of geography as a study discipline and subject of teaching.
