Revealing the UK's global links

This unit enables pupils to challenge the single story and think about the complexity of people and place in the study of the Lake District and in Europe ('Europe: How diverse are its landscapes and places?'). 

This builds on pupils' knowledge of the UK in 'Land use: How diverse are local and UK landscapes?' and settlements in 'Settlements: Where do people live and why?' to look outwards and make connections with the diversity of the people of the UK and the wider world. 

This unit explores the UK’s regions, population and global links. Pupils learn about counties, migration and movement within and beyond the UK, and consider how the population is changing and what this means for the people and places that make up the UK today.
