Specifically written to fulfil curriculum requirements for teaching about an economically developing country, The Final Frontier? explores themes of population distribution, settlement patterns and the environment from the perspective of Maasai pastoralists in Kenya. The pack encourages participatory learning methods to develop skills of discussion, visual literacy, map reading, conflict resolution, decision making, and cost-benefit analysis.

  • The lifestyle of Maasai pastoralists
  • The effect of colonialism
  • Change and development amongst the Maasai
  • Links between international debt and environmental damage
  • The effect of changes in land tenure upon the Maasai lifestyle


The CD-ROM provides additional images, text and data together with audio commentary from an Oxfam pastoralist programme officer in Kenya.

Each activity in The Final Frontier? CD-ROM is designed to help pupils develop their knowledge and understanding of the Maasai people and Kenya.
