In this paper we present a didactic project, organized within the scope of a teacher training Program in Brazil, whose main objective is related to the training of young students for active citizenship. During the elaboration and implementation of this project, entitled Vota 16, the precepts of geographic education and political education are articulated, with the purpose of revealing geographic knowledge as a powerful knowledge regarding the possibilities of transforming the unequal and excluding social reality that endures in the country.
