This paper constitutes a critical essay on Landscape Education proposing the integration of critical constructivism pedagogies and transformative education in this still innovative educational field in Brazil. It is discussed that learning in landscape can occur more broadly, encompassing different age groups, sectors, disciplines, cultures, and institutions, adopting inclusive strategies. Landscape-based learning can contribute to scientific and environmental literacy, the appreciation of cultural and natural heritage, the promotion of sustainability, and resilience in our landscapes. The text highlights the importance of a participatory and collaborative approach in Landscape Education, involving schools and the local community in building sustainable solutions for environmental and social challenges. The paper also provides a discussion of the concepts of John Dewey, Paulo Freire, and other education theorists to argue that Landscape Education can be a powerful tool for the formation of critically aware and politically engaged citizens.
