This resource focuses on knowledge of human rights issues and developing the skills and attitudes acquired from the previous resources. The resource contains ten lesson plans focusing on identity, taking responsibility, child labour, conflict and the role of children’s rights promoters. The lessons link directly to strands and strand units of the SPHE curriculum

Human Rights Stories (about 5 different people for 2nd to 6th classes) 

This resource includes a range of lessons with questions, worksheets and teacher's notes. Engaging with the stories through discussion, creative thinking and character exploration can support the development of literacy. Through the familiar medium of storytelling, human rights situations can be explored on a level which children can encounter the real life impact of human rights in practice.
