Social Studies | The population of the world today...
is about 200,000 people larger than yesterday. The world population clock LIVE shows you in real time how fast it’s actually going. This development will put enormous pressure on Earth’s resources and we’ll need to find more sustainable ways of living. And fast!
We looked at the world population clock yesterday and today:

Then, we discussed the book: "If the world were a village" by David J. Smith and Shelagh Armstrong. In this book the authors imagined a world with only 100 people and shared amazing statistics and facts. For example, in the village, 61 people are from Asia; 13 are from Africa; 12 are from Europe; 8 are from South America, Central America and the Caribbean; 5 are from Canada and the United States; 1 is from Oceania. As part of the Global Citizenship curriculum outcomes, we are discussing the differences across our planet related with food security, clean water, education and others global issues.
