Website teaches school kids about human rights

11 October 2016

The Australian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) launched the interactive website designed to help students gain a critical understanding of human rights and responsibilities.

The resource includes two interactive lessons with accompanying teacher resources – including lesson plans – and suggested homework activities and has been mapped to the Australian Curriculum for Humanities and Social Sciences for Years 5 and 6.

Through the interactive website, students can participate in thought-provoking activities which explore the relationship between fundamental human rights and personal responsibilities.
