People and Place
Geography is essentially the study of environments and peoples and the interactions between the two. In 5-14 the study of geography appears as the People and Place component of the 5-14 Environmental Studies document. People and Place analyses the spatial relationships and processes of the planet and in a contemporary context involves the study of key issues of our time - global and environmental citizenship, and sustainability.
