This series is intended to help students develop international understanding and geographic literacy. The programs reinforce the Western Europe unit typically presented in middle and junior high school world geography and social studies courses.

To create the series, educational television producers in North America joined their counterparts in Western Europe to develop programs that show young people on each side of the Atlantic Ocean confronting common issues. Each program incorporates one of the fundamental geographic themes of location, place, human/environmental interaction, movement, and regions, linking it to a specific issue that affects the child and his or her family.

KET co-produced Program 6 with the Netherlands.
