This resource for 7-11 year olds helps learners begin to understand the basic principles of global trade.

Starting with everyday items - things from the supermarket - the activities explore where items actually come from and how they reach us. Drawing out links between raw materials and finished items, and helping learners to understand the supply chain, this resource also gets learners thinking about global trade rules and who benefits from them.
