Geography is crucial in providing children with a deep understanding of the Earth’s key physical and human process, enabling them to understand the world around them. This gives them a true sense of belonging in the world and helps them understand their place within it, which is critical in forming a sense of identity, purpose and drive. The universal skills that children develop, will enable them to become geographical thinkers who want to seek out additional information about the world, its systems and processes. By learning about a variety of places, cultures, environments, and people, we build understanding respect for the world and the people in it. Through this, we learn who we are and that we are not alone.
