Abstract
In times of global uncertainty, the important need to seek a stable foundation for the development of society and the educational system comes to the fore. Historical experience and the directions of development of contemporary geographical science prove that in times of spiritual emptiness, it is necessary to turn to its object and subject, which are related to space and territory. In this way, the epistemological and geographical values that are important for geographical knowledge, education, and society as a whole can be identified.
In the school geography education system, values can become a magnet for strengthening students’ interest and motivation in the subject. They could help turn them into individuals who build and maintain a value-oriented system of views, norms, and behavior and are ready for successful realization in their future lives by demonstrating an active social and civic position.
