This education pack contains five activities on human rights for young people. It can be used as an introduction to human rights, to global solidarity, to campaigning and activism, and to the wider work of Amnesty International. The activities provide a broad perspective on these issues and others.
They are useful in opening young people’s minds to global concerns and involving them in actions which can have a real impact on people’s lives.
The activities can be run at any time, but will be most effective either before or during the time of Amnesty International’s ‘Write for Rights’ campaign, which this year runs from 4 to 17 December. By working on these cases and taking part in the campaign, young people will know that they are part of a massive global movement of people. They – and you – can bring about a real improvement in the lives of the people featured in the following pages.
