The author studies the possibilities of geography training for the implementation of environmental education among students. It is considered that using certain notions of Montessori methodology will not only enrich the practice but will increase substantially the engagement and responsibility of every child. The current paper emphasizes the following important aspects: ? How children connect with nature ? The positive impact of the Montessori teaching method on the child in order to develop respect and caring attitude for the environment ? To offer new methods and activities in training process with children in order to achieve environmental protection ? To create interactive outdoor spaces for children ?
