Applying a human rights and responsibilities lens (May 2009)

There are numerous activities directed specifically at developing understanding of and commitment to human rights - including those accessible through the HRiE/MTT website. But much of the most effective human rights learning occurs when teachers apply a human rights lens to existing curriculum content. Indispensable basic information tools include the one-page summaries of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRoC) and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR)

Additional materials are available free direct from the Office of the Children's Commissioner (UNCRoC) and the Human Rights Commission (UDHR).
