ABSTRACT
This chapter outlines the nature of children's direct (and quasi-direct) experiences of distant people and places.
Most of the literature in this field naturally relates to older children (see, for example the bibliography on study abroad in Western Europe by Baron and Bachmann, 1987), but if children's attitudes to other peoples is already well formed early in the primary school it is worth investigating the extent and nature of children's travel and what they take from it.
