Alice is blogging about Human Rights Day which is on December 10th. The focus for the last 3 years has been on education :
.. focus on primary and secondary education, through integrating human rights issues into curricula, changing educational processes and teaching methods and, most importantly, improving the environment in which education takes place.

In my last school we tried to help the children think beyond their own situation and to consider children’s needs, rights and responsibilities.
It was done as a whole school initiative, integrated into PSHE, circle time and some of the geography units. This display was from Year 3 and might not be as ‘perfect’ as some. It’s backed on sugar paper, which fades and doesn’t last, it has no border and the spacing is quite random. To me it looks a bit scrappy but, and it’s an important but, this was very much the children’s display. They were deeply touched and quite shocked by some of the things we covered. This was their response and in some ways that makes it much more powerful than a ‘perfect’ display.
Thank you for sharing this! I’m very impressed with what you have done. These are beautiful.
Can I use these pictures on my class blog(s) where we are discussing human rights?
