This site promotes training for teachers in the field of human rights. There is a Lesson Plan related to Identity, which I think is key to starting a process of social inclusion. Eventhough I don't teach children, this lesson could be adapted for adults.

I know we were told to bookmark a site referred only to the topic we chose on the map, but I found this great site that links you to a whole bunch of mterial about human rights. It inlcudes lesson plans, listening activities, interactive activities, pictures, wwebquests and a lot more. I haven't been able to go through the whole thing, but for what I've seen so far, it's very interisting and it will be of great help for some of us. I hope you enjoy it as much as I am right this moment.
