If you have done a Unit on<br \/>\nRemembrance Day, you can link it to this. After WWII, a new organisation was<br \/>\ncreated, the United Nations. Its role was to stop wars between nations and<br \/>\ncreate a better world. One of their first actions was to draft the Universal<br \/>\nDeclaration of Human Rights in 1948 that set out human rights for all and asked<br \/>\nnations to protect these rights for their people. More conventions on human<br \/>\nrights came for different groups, like women, people with disabilities, people<br \/>\ndeprived of their liberty, migrants and their families, but in 1989 one was<br \/>\ncreated specifically to protect children, i.e. the UNCRC.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=x9_IvXFEyJo\">Watch Everybody \u2013 We are all born free<\/a> (4:18 min).<\/li>\n<li>In pairs &#8211; ask students to discuss the video and name the rights they<br \/>\nremember.

Ask them to write a short story about their experiences related to a<br \/>\nhuman right as the character on the page. Make sure they include some of the<br \/>\nwords in one of the UDHR or UNCRC articles! Once the story is written, ask the<br \/>\nstudents to share their stories with the other students who have the same right<br \/>\nand reflect on what was similar or different about their stories.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Reflection:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What rights are the same for children and adults?<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0What would be different if we did not have these rights?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Links:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=x9_IvXFEyJo\">Everybody \u2013 We are all born free<\/a> [Video]<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amnesty.org.uk\/resources\/activity-6-we-are-all-born-free\">We Are All Born Free Activity 6 PPP (Source: Amnesty.org.uk)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.unicef.ca\/sites\/default\/files\/imce_uploads\/UTILITY%20NAV\/TEACHERS\/DOCS\/GC\/CRCPosterEN_FA.pdf\">Child Friendly UNCRC Poster<\/a> (Source: UNICEF.ca)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/commons.royalroads.ca\/childthrive\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/129\/2021\/11\/4-5-Activity-2.-We-are-all-born-free-adapted-from-Amnesty.uk_.pdf\">PDF Activity 2 Outline<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Activity 2: We are all born free (adapted from We Are All Born Free &#8211; Amnesty.uk) Why we like it: Students have been introduced to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, but often have questions about adult rights.
