%X This paper discusses some of the complex issues involved in how Europe is represented in a range of map formats. The reader is encouraged to consider these issues by accessing recommended websites in order to analyse how Europe is represented through their published contents. Simon CatlingĄ¯s theoretical work on childrenĄ¯s worlds is then used to discuss the implications of European maps and how they may influence childrenĄ¯s geographical knowledge and understanding of their world. By bringing these two ideas together it may be possible to further inform how the concepts of Europe and childrenĄ¯sĄ¯ sense of place may improve geographical education.
