Big World Small World (2002)
This resource explores globalisation and trade. It highlights the interdependence of people all over the world. Through travel, trade and communication, people have more contact with the world around them than at any time in the past.
However, the benefits of globalisation have not been shared equally. The growing gap between rich and poor is damaging to society in a number of ways. It is linked to higher levels of poverty, poor social cohesion, alienation and limited choice. Around the world, the number of people lving on less than $1 per day is increasing. Through the use of simulation games, drama and group work activities, young people investigate what globalisation is, look deeper into the causes and consequences, imagine alternatives and explore what young people can do to make globalisation work for all people.
