The geography of conflict
Conflict today - Main Activity
What conflicts have I heard of?
In this interactive activity your task is to sort different conflicts into those that you have heard of, and those that you have not. You will also get the opportunity to find out a bit more about the conflicts, and then to sort them chronologically, i.e. in order of how recently they occurred.
Patterns of conflict today
This table provides you with information about conflicts around the world today, including their location, when they started, and the number of casualties to date. How could you display this information on a map?
Design and create your own map to show this information. You can base it on a blank outline map of the world (download one for free from the Maps International website), or create your own map from scratch.
This PowerPoint presentation might give you some ideas for designing your map.
- Is the map shown a good map?
- What is good about it?
- What could be improved?
