"Locating London's Past is a new JISC-funded website that lets users delve deep into the capital's past, revolutionising our understanding of London's history. The website is the first to map information from a vast array of sources, covering:
crime and punishment
the distribution of wealth, poverty and occupations
the ownership of consumer goods
mortality
"
This site explores current evidence about the effects of globalisation on the UK, focusing in particular on communities and the experience of people in poverty. It also includes a link to a short video (for inspiration) - might be a little biased (against Globalisation)
The theme, which will last three years, is intended to serve as a focus for the IB and IB World Schools. They aim to capture the excellent initiatives that are already underway in many schools and encourage and inspire new activities, in and out of the classroom, around the following topics:
Global poverty
Education for all
Peace and conflict
Global infectious diseases
Digital divide: uneven access to information and communication technologies
Disasters and emergencies
