Here's a fun, creative approach to the profoundly important issue of human rights. Young citizens do three activities, two of which involve them finding images from magazines that reflect human rights of their choosing and creating a collage. The final task is a writing reflection. It's a great way to get young citizens thinking about what it means to be human - and the rights we ought to have as human beings.
