Popis: The concepts of national and European identities are being widespread discussed and the schools from kindergarten to universities have a role in this discussion. In this case what happens in elementary schools assumes also a special relevance. This paper reports a study on elementary teachers perceptions of Portugueseness and Europeanness. It also tries to reach an understanding of how elementary teachers look at and use social studies, and especially history, as a source for activities to foster national identity and European identity and concretely understanding of cultural differences in their classrooms.
