Description

This unit introduces pupils to the concept of globalisation and develops their understanding of how people and places are connected through economics and culture. Pupils will evaluate how the benefits and challenges brought by globalisation differs over global space.

It is important that pupils develop a knowledge and understanding of the interconnections that underpin our global economy and society and the ways that accelerating globalisation impacts our daily lives. Pupils will use prior knowledge from units on population, India, and China to develop their knowledge and will use their learning to consider the impact of globalisation on development and cities in future units.
