This title has been endorsed by Cambridge Assessment International Education for the Cambridge Lower Secondary Global Perspectives curriculum framework (1129) from 2022.

• This book provides full coverage of the Stage 7 Cambridge Lower Secondary Global Perspectives curriculum framework.
• Focused on improving skills: each chapter centres on two skill strands, building these skills through a carefully structured sequence of active learning towards a collaborative final task.
• Empower students to engage with a range of contemporary issues and perspectives. In Stage 7 these relate to the syllabus topics, 'Change in culture and communities', 'Education for all', 'Health and wellbeing', 'Globalisation', 'Values and beliefs', 'Employment' and 'Environment, pollution and conservation'.
• Help students to assess their progress and understand how to improve: the final chapter asks students to apply the skills they have learned across Stage 7, by carrying out a group project in their local community and reflecting in writing on what they have learned.
• Encourage reflection through structured Reflection points in each lesson and a self-assessment Check your progress feature at the end of each chapter.
• The clear lesson-by-lesson approach allows teachers to easily use the resources in the classroom and build them into their own schemes of work.
• The Collins resources can be used as preparation for the Challenges, if schools wish, as each chapter in the Student's Book links to the skills and topic focus of a Stage 7 Challenge.
