in this web page we can find useful activities to teach human rights, and connect the rights in our lives

This is a very interesting web site about Human Rights that has interesting ideas on how we can teach them in the classroom. It includes a wide variety of links with lessons and activities we can adapt in our classrooms.

This site gives good overview and understanding of human rights. It covers topics like; Human rights in the news, history and human rights, mapping human rights in our community, etc...

This article was fascinating to me because it seems a great commentary on what is a "right" and what is a "Privilege." I feel in the USA the difference between these two are not understood. This writer does a good job of explaining how to define each and who holds the power of each.

In this website you will find excellent short videos about the human rights that all human beings have. The right to education, to life, to democracy and more. It provides tools to make our lessons more dynamic and varied. Videos like the ones shown in the website help us to start discussions and opened conversations sharing our different points of view. =D

This side is about how Education is a basic right of all and how youth is facing problem for getting this right.

the video contains: Human Rights Definition, the list of Rights, History of Human Rights,

This bookmark is from the website called Human Rights Watch. The education has been under attack in conflicts. The article says students, teachers and schools are often targeted and used as a war tactic because of their connection to education. The video is an example of those tragedies. A girl who just believed everybody has a right to access to education was shot. World organizations are providing information and trying to protect education. I think this article can be used as an example of why preserving education is very important in some countries. Students can read and watch the video as an example, then teacher can ask them to find other articles on the website that are related to education as a human right.

This website defines "Human Rights". It explains what Human Rights means in both specific and basic terms. You can find out about Human Rights laws and who enforces and monitors them. This site is a great resource for both educators and students.

This website has a small section/page about "Children and Human Rights". It lists and describes some of the human rights that are violated in many children's lives. It's a good page with facts about Human Rights for children.

Following an introduction to human rights, students will consider how human rights relate to themselves, their community, country and their world. Here teachers are going to find many activities to apply in the classroom. This page is just aout huma rights, history, campaigns, documentaries, etc.

This site gives a good lesson plan for highshool level students.

One of the most comprehensive sites on human rights around. Contains current human rights reports on most countries and articles on human rights violations worldwide. This is a really useful site for those who want to deepen their understanding of human rights issues. The site contains a lot of videos, photos, some statistics and testimonies. Without doubt teachers can offer their students to work together on a project "Human Rights" in order to raise their awareness of the issue. In addition, teachers can use the site to teach university students how to analyze and synthesize material.

This is the website of Humanium. It's an international child sponsorship which supports projects for children on a global scale. The projects aim to put an end to the violations of children's rights. You can find Fundamental rights of children there, the International Convention on the Rights of the Child.

Equal rights to all the members of the world are the only means to bring social harmony in the world.Therefore,on December 10,1948,the United Nations adopted The Universal Declaration of Human Rights to protect human rights and to enforce it by laws.Here,you can find the that declaration and about the detail of human rights.

This is a nice site where not only you can find some web links about the principal human rights' advocates, but you can find lots of information about human rights' in general or specifically. From lesson plans to presentations and ways to become an advocate. I invite you all to check it out.

Great website to learn about the most important facts about human rights history. In this website, you will also find creative posters that show us what our human rights are. There are videos of people performing real life stories on how their human rights have been broken.

The game contains quotes and pieces from the short biographies of four human rights activists. Students should match the piece with the correct character and thereby build up a brief description of each person. Educational goals: :: To learn about some of the individuals who have fought for human rights in different countries; :: To stimulate interest in human rights heroes; :: To develop skills of handling and ordering information; :: To promote respect, responsibility and engagement about human rights.

I lthink this "The Bill of Rights Lesson" would be very useful and interesting for students to learn and for a teacher to perform. The information of the lesson is quite intelligible, so it can be easily worked with. Many ways of doing it are also suggested (including reading activities, solving puzzles, bingo games, true/false exercises etc.) which make the lesson fascinating and the students more interested in the problem discussed.

Interesting ideas to introduce Human Rights in the classroom

Film English by Kieran Donaghy features a media lesson on Human Rights and street art. This time a lesson is designed based on an award-winning video for Amnesty International by Carlos Lascano. On this section, you can find the link for the video to project in the classroom and a worksheet with activities mainly designed to generate discussion among the members of the group. The activity is intended for students in upper-intermediate level onwards. These activities will reinforce the listening and speaking skills.

"Human Rights Watch defends the rights of people worldwide." Students can investigate, on this site, about abuses happening worldwide and use the information for a debate in the classroom. They can also try to find a solution for a specific problem like they wold at the UN. Another idea would be to write reports or compare what's going on in a specific place around the world with their own reality.

Great video for introducing what Human Rights are. It also has some questions about what is said in the video.

Find information about the rights that should be given to kids all around the world. Learn about UNICEF's four core principles.
