This Y8 geography unit (DAA) introduces students to the topical issue of conflict. A particular focus of the unit is the extent to which conflict can influence, and be influenced by, geography. Through the study of historical and contemporary conflicts on a range of scales, each lesson encourages students to develop an awareness of the causes and impacts of conflict, and of the interconnectedness that results in links between conflict and their own lives.
Lesson 2 looks at the causes of conflict, using Darfur as a case study. The image above links to a viral video game for change that provides a window into the experience of the 2.5 million in the Darfur region of Sudan.
Players must keep their refugee camp functioning in the face of possible attack by Janjaweed militias. Players can also learn more about the genocide in Darfur that has taken the lives of 400,000 people, and find ways to get involved to help stop this human rights and humanitarian crisis.

It really show's how hard life is in the number of different countries, how they have to savage for food and water. Whilst in the process nearly losing there lifes, it's a real eye opener. There so many conflicts and wars going on, it's a shambles.
