But first, ask yourself 'what do I know about this subject?


1.What are human rights?

3.What are these human rights?

Now go to http://www.youthforhumanrights.org/index.htm

Watch the video 'What are Human Rights?'
Take some notes and check your answers...

Click on 'Watch the ads!' Scroll down a bit and there you have them. Watch some of them or watch them all. These are well done ads about Everyone's Human Rights.

Now, let's GET ACTIVE (top bar, on the right). Click and find out 'things anyone can do for human rights'.

Have you already done any of these things? If you have, well done, let's do more; if you haven't, you can start today!
I've just been following suggestions 3 and 13. Now it's your turn!

Why don’t you follow suggestion 11?!? Create something: a drawing, song, video, poem or just some lines, about one of the human rights or the subject of human rights in general. 1, 2, 3 GO! And share it with your peers and teachers. The Future depends on you!

Let's GET UNITED.
