Global Trade, Supply Chains & Interdependence

Global Citizenship & Humanities

Your child can trace how an everyday product travels from raw material to shelf, including who grows it, who transports it, and who sells it. They can explain how countries depend on one another for things they cannot produce themselves.

In real life
