Link to TOK:
• Throughout the course, students reflect on absolute and relative poverty and types of poverty such as material poverty, educational poverty, poverty in terms of care, and inclusion in communities, etc., and reflect on how poverty can be alleviated in the world. As part of their reflection and learning, students also include their own experiences with poverty from travels, their own lives, etc.
