KS4 Citizenship - My jeans and globalisation

This film is from The world, my stuff and me available on BBC Teach.

An exploration of globalisation using a teenager’s ‘stuff’ as a starting point.

There’s interaction with a real teenager combined with a short animated clip that explains how jeans are involved in the world economy.

The young woman is challenged to understand how her jeans are made, and what she, as a consumer, can do to address the negative impact of jeans production on workers and the environment.

The term ‘globalisation’ is introduced in the context of understanding how many countries are involved in making jeans.
