Welcome to our first exploration into the world of Human Rights! 🎥 In this first lesson, we'll kick things off by watching a thought-provoking video that introduces the concept of Human Rights, and after that, you’ll read an overview that explains the topic in more detail.

4. Now, it is time to read a bit more and familiarize yourselves with important concepts. The text is called “What are Human Rights?” by The Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) to deepen our understanding. As you read, consider these questions:

1. • • • What exactly are Human Rights, and why do they matter?

       • Can you list some examples mentioned in the text?

       • How do Human Rights protect individuals?

       • Who is responsible for upholding these rights?

Here's the link for the text: Link

5. To wrap up, enrich your vocabulary by selecting 10 new words from the overview. Add these to your “Human Rights Vocabulary List,” complete with definitions and sentences. Think of how these terms might come up in future discussions.

1. • Select 10 new vocabulary words from the text that you think are useful to talk about human rights.

   • In a Word or Google Docs document named “Human Rights Vocabulary List,” write the word, its definition, and create an original sentence using the word.

Example:

1. • Inalienable: unable to be taken away from or given away by the possessor.

Human rights are inalienable; they cannot be removed from any person.
