INTRODUCTION

The teacher introduces the students into the workshop topic through a number of planned activities. The teacher can only carry out a number of the according to time and capability.

a

‘’Rights of my Country’’ group work

The teacher divides the students into 4 groups and gives them paper and felt tip pens. Next after everyone is ready to work he reads out the following text: "Imagine that you found yourself with other people on the island, where no one had ever lived, and where there are no rules and laws. Your group has been designated a task, to determine the three basic laws that regulate life on the island. However, remember that you do not know what social position will be occupied there. At the end give the island a name." The teacher announces that results of work will be presented to the class and discussed. Students discuss the topic in their groups. They write down on a piece of paper the name of the country and 5 laws that will be valid in the newly established country. The representative of each group presents and discusses on the group forum all the laws of their country. The teacher or the person chosen by them writes them down so that in the end the results can be compared.

b

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights discussion

The teacher sums up the work of pupils. The teacher tells them that that an international document exists- The universal declaration of human rights which protects all people. The leader hands out a shortened version of the document (Attachment 1 - The universal declaration of human rights – shortened version). The students with the help of a teacher compare the rights which they made up with the ones contained in the document. The students discuss the topic of the rights in the document and their legitimacy.

c

‘’GROUP RULES’’ teamwork

In order to carry out the activity you will need materials such as a whiteboard/flipchart, felt tip pens, sellotape. The purpose of the task is to set the rules in the classes. The result will be that the Code with the rules written will be hung in a visible for everyone to see. At the beginning the teacher asks the students for suggestions on the rules that should be in place during workshops. Students approach and write their ideas on the flipchart.

c

CD. ‘’GROUP RULES’’ teamwork

The teacher may also ask each student to complete the sentence: "To feel good together and safe I expect from the group....’’ and write those expectations on the board. Examples of rules in the group : we take an active part in the class, we cooperate with each other, we are honest with ourselves, we do not lie, we have a right to our own views, we are friendly to each other, we support each other, we are discreet, do not judge others, not ridicule their views, we do not force anyone to answer/ speak, we do not interrupt each other, we do not criticize views of other students, only one person speaks at a time. Once you've written all the ideas, there's a discussion of the rules that are controversial. The teacher establishes together with the students whether or not they should be listed. The more rules will be proposed by the students, and less by the teacher, the better. The teacher should not comment on the proposal, just write them down. After working out a code of cooperation between students, the teacher points out that the rights and duties, as in the classroom, are different in different spaces: family, group of friends, school, work, etc. Different organizations, institutions, structures govern different rights and duties. The teacher introduces a general outline of the consciousness of the rights that every individual has. Sample material: The awareness of the rights that every human being enjoys, mutual respect and the fight against discrimination in today's world are becoming increasingly important. Education, encouraged by the broadening of knowledge on such important topics, should be important to people. It is through this that each of us is able to contribute to the creation of a world in which every person is equal regardless of the sex, geographic region in which he lives or works. It is worthwhile that such messages appear in both formal and non-formal education. Education related to respect for and respect for human rights is one of the greatest challenges of the 21st century. Today's youth are faced with the problems of social exclusion, religious, ethnic, or national diversity. Education for human rights helps to understand the different values, attitudes and behavior of modern society. It should also be encouraged to take action in the defense of human rights. Almost all countries, not just European ones, give priority to respecting human rights, which are an inseparable part of the process of educating young people.

DECISION ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROJECT

5

2 The teacher, together with the students , decides to implement a human rights project. They jointly determine the title of the project.

3

ISSUES RELATED TO VIOLATIONS OF HUMAN RIGHTS

A few days before the planned lesson, students are given the task of bringing to the workshops various short articles or sections that describe situations of human rights abuses in the world. Each person should bring at least two materials, no longer than 200 words each. Students can use various magazines, press materials, books, manuals and regulations.

a

introduction

The teacher tells that various documents exist that should ensure the protection of every human being. We already know the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of December 10, 1948. Unfortunately in reality very often the laws and standards contained in that document are not respected. The next exercise, by working with extracts from news articles, will allow you to get acquainted with some of the situations in which human rights violations occurred in the modern world.

b

task

Students are divided into groups. Each team receives a fragment of a newspaper article, which testifies to the violation of human rights (each group receives a different, short article). Each student gets an additional of 2 articles that were prepared (Attachment 2 - examples of texts). Young people share their articles with the members of their team, and then take in the discussions based on the following areas identified by the teacher: which country is affected by the situations described in the articles? which rights from the Universal declaration of Human Rights have been

violated in the described situations? During the workshops students work with the shortened version of The Universal Declaration of Human Rights which has been handed out in the introduction by the teacher. After analysing and discussing opinions each group reads out their text fragments in front of the group. The students give the likely place that it happened in and gives the rights that they think have been violated. The whole thing takes place in rounds so that each group can present 2-3 fragments. The teacher comments on the students answers.


"TRADE MARKET" exercise

6

4 The teacher divides the students into two groups: Team No 1 - BUYERS human rights, Team No 2 - SELLERS of Human Rights. The teacher then passes the guidelines to both groups and goes through the exercise (Attachment 3 - guidelines and description of the exercise).

5

TOGETHER TO PROTECT HUMAN RIGHTS group work

To perform the task the students will need such materials as: the abbreviated version of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, flipchart, markers Students work in 4 groups. The teacher assigns students to groups by any method, such as drawing colored cards.

a

exercise

Each group receives 2-3 copies of the shortened version of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Then the teams receive the same set of questions (Attachment 4 - sets of sentences for assessment by students). The task of the students is to mark: The "+" sign that describes the situation in accordance with the rules In

the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, A "-" sign that describes a situation that is not in accordance with the

rules In the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

b

discussion

Questions for students – short, about 5 -10 min., discussion: Was it easy to answer the questions? Have you ever had a chance to learn about human rights? Where can you find information about human rights? How many documents do you know about human rights? Does every country have its own, or are primates, overriding? EU?

international?

c

choice of tasks

Groups randomly or selectively assign tasks that involve the description of a given project. There are only two tasks , so the two groups have the same topics to elaborate: description of the human rights television program. The teacher can prepare guidance questions: where would the material be emitted? How long will it take What topics would be addressed in it? Would the famous people of the political world appear? What form would it take - reportage, interview, etc. description of an educational information campaign for one of the

organizations dealing with the protection of human rights. The teacher can prepare guidance questions: Will the campaign be conducted in a given country, across Europe, and perhaps in the world? Would it be advertised by celebrities - if so, who? What would be its most important elements: advertising: tv, radio, leaflets, etc? Is social media such as fB, twitter a good tool for implementing such campaigns?


d

presentation of projects in the group forum

Each group chooses a representative who will talk about the effects of the work. Key issues are recorded on the flipchart. Subsequent development of groups that had the same subject are compared. This work should create material with which both teams agree. They can supplement material with new ideas. The most interesting projects can be described on the school website, in the school newspaper, etc.

HOW TO FIGHT AGAINST HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS? workshops

To perform the task such materials will be needed: flipchart, markers, overhead projector, laptop. The teacher invites the students to brainstorm - divided into three parts: what do you know the documents / laws / regulations that talk about

human rights? One of the students records the keywords on the flipchart. The teacher briefly discusses the written documents. The Teacher then displays a shortened version of the provisions of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (Attachment 5 - Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms - short form). The teacher invites the students to the second part of the discussion. We encourage students to give examples and discussions: do all people have equal rights and obligations? Regardless of color,

religion, place of residence, social status, age, everyone should and should be treated equally?

The teacher summarizes the students' statements. The most important conclusions from the discussion are recorded on the flip chart. After the discussion, Amnesty International Poland , "How to fight for human rights?" Is displayed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aG81RBBDot4&t=529s The teacher then goes to the third part of the discussion: What do you know about NGOs dealing with human rights? What is the role of non-governmental organizations in the protection of

human rights? In what situations do human rights violations occur? Do you need legal regulations, declarations, conventions and other

regulations that regulate the protection of human rights? What examples of your everyday life come to mind that do not respect

human rights laws (such as beatings, theft, unfair punishment by the teacher, mocking friends)?

What can you do in the fight for human rights? The teacher, together with the students, concludes with all the conclusions drawn from the discussion. Together they decide to create a poster that encourages / obliges the students to respect human rights.

PREPARING THE POSTERS distance work

8

7 Students prepare posters on human rights. They can propose their own concepts of the realization. Participants can take advantage of concepts already developed materials, and also use the proposed design template (Attachment 6 – Example of the poster) .

8

PRESENTATION OF POSTERS ABOUT THE PROTECTION AND RESPECT OF HUMAN RIGHTS

The teacher places prominently placed posters prepared by students that encourage / oblige their students to respect human rights. Together with students, they discuss the means and concepts contained in them. They also talk about the purpose of creating such materials, for example: Can they really have a real impact on people's attitudes towards this

subject? Can they influence positively the increase of knowledge and interest in

the subject matter?

9

PRESENTATION OF POSTERS ABOUT THE PROTECTION AND RESPECT OF HUMAN RIGHTS

The teacher and the students are discussing human rights together. They list the most important of them. Then the leader asks questions summarizing the whole project: What did we like best? What did we learn? What was most difficult? How do we evaluate the results we have achieved? Students can also ask questions about the project.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) (text) is a declaration adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on 10 December 1948 at the Palais de Chaillot in Paris, France. The Declaration arose directly from the experience of the Second World War and represents the first global expression of what many people believe to be the rights to which all human beings are inherently entitled. The full text is available on the United Nations website. The Declaration consists of thirty articles which, although not legally binding, have been elaborated in subsequent international treaties, economic transfers, regional human rights instruments, national constitutions, and other laws. The International Bill of Human Rights consists of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and its two Optional Protocols. In 1966, the General Assembly adopted the two detailed Covenants, which complete the International Bill of Human Rights. In 1976, after the Covenants had been ratified by a sufficient number of individual nations, the Bill became international law, to be followed by all.

APPENDIX 2

SAMPLE MATERIAL

Marc is a gay 17-year-old student attending a publicly-funded Catholic high school. He wishes to go to the prom with a same-sex date. The prom is being held at a rental hall off school property. The school principal and the Catholic School Board have said no on the grounds that this would be endorsing conduct contrary to the church’s teachings. Marc believes that this is a violation of his human rights. He is considering seeking a court injunction because the prom is only weeks away. Group discussion questions: What ground and social area does Marc’s application fall under? What competing rights are involved here?

MARC HISTORY

ALIA AND AHMED HISTORY

There are many people in Ontario who are deaf, deafened or hard of hearing. Some people may use sign language as their first language or preferred means of communication, and their inability in English will seriously impede their ability to communicate unless aided by interpretation. For these Ontarians, effective communication and getting fair access to services and employment is very hard. Alia and Ahmed are parents who were both born deaf. They were expecting twins and would usually provide their own sign language interpreters for their medical visits. Unless an interpreter was present, communicating information was often frustrating for them. At the same time, any miscommunication about medical information could be dangerous. Alia went into labour eight months into her pregnancy. She and her husband found themselves at the hospital without the aid of an interpreter. Neither the attending doctor nor the nurses could effectively communicate with the parents, who found this isolation difficult and frightening. After the babies were born, they were immediately taken away from the delivery room and put under observation in another area of the hospital. One nurse wrote on a piece of paper that the children were “fine.” Otherwise, no one gave any details about the twins’ condition to either Alia or Ahmed. Group discussion questions How would you feel if you were in the same situation as Alia or Ahmed? Whose responsibility is it to provide sign language interpreters in public

service sectors? How would this claim be covered under the Code? Do you think it’s unreasonable for deaf people to expect interpreters to

be available in emergency situations? What about in other non-emergency situations?

TAMMY HISTORY Tammy age 11, Tammy had bowled for five years in the local recreation league. She and several others qualified to enter a province-wide competition sponsored by the Youth Bowling Council. Tammy has cerebral palsy and uses a wheelchair, but she has some movement and coordination. So she could bowl, her father built a wooden ramp, the top of which rests in Tammy's lap. She lines up the ramp towards the bowling pins and lets the ball roll down the ramp. Just before the competition, the Council ruled that Tammy was ineligible to take part. While the Council's rules allowed persons with disabilities to use special equipment to assist them in recreational bowling (provided the equipment did not add force or speed to the ball), they prohibited the use of such equipment in competitions. Group discussion questions: Could Tammy perform the essential requirement of bowling? Should

this argument have been a factor in determining whether a violation occurred?

Should the Council have to accommodate Tammy (for example, should they allow her to bowl in competitions with the ramp)?

Would the Council experience undue hardship if it accommodated her in competitions? Would it change the sport too much? Give your reasons.

CINDY HISTORY Cindy, 19, applied for a job at a nursing home as a nursing aide. She had previously worked part-time as a kindergarten teacher's aide and had also cared for children with mental and physical disabilities during her high school years. In her initial interview, the assistant administrator told Cindy she was an ideal candidate and that she probably would be hired. She was given a pre-employment medical examination for her family doctor to complete. He confirmed that she could meet the requirement of being able to lift patients. At a second meeting, the interviewer reviewed the completed medical form and noticed Cindy's hand. During the initial interview, the assistant administrator had not observed her left hand, on which the index, middle and ring fingers were much shorter than those on most hands. Following this, the interviewer and another nursing director spent much time discussing Cindy's disability and the job requirements. Even though they both really wanted to hire Cindy, they didn’t think she would be able to cope with the gripping or clasping that is needed to lift patients. Although Cindy said she could perform the duties and had done similar tasks in her previous job with children with disabilities, she was not hired. Group discussion questions: Did the interviewer have reasonable grounds to believe that Cindy could

not do the job? On what basis did the interviewers assess that Cindy could not meet a

bona fide job requirement? What do you think the interviewer and the nursing director should have

decided? What are your reasons?


APPENDIX 3

GUIDELINES AND DESCRIPTION OF WORKSHOPS

The teacher explains to the students that the purpose of the activity is to think about the importance of human rights, not just negotiation and money! You should gather as many interesting factual arguments as possible. We ask ourselves the following questions: How will my life benefit from these human rights? What would happen if we did not have certain human right? How important is the certain human right to me?

TASK

Market, noise and buzz. Merchants walk between stalls and watch what sellers have put up for sale today. They have their shopping lists and are looking for products. Sellers talk to buyers and persuade them to buy. Merchants are trying to find out why they should buy human rights from a particular seller and at the price of their call. As a merchant, make notes with different prices and arguments of sellers. If your human rights have several sellers choose the best solution for you as a merchant.

MARKET preparations and talks

Buyers need to make decisions about what human rights they will choose and who they want to buy from.

Negotiations are under way. The teacher writes on the board the arguments of sellers and buyers to discuss their choice for a particular purchase.

Students present the results of their negotiations. Group discussion on the arguments during the negotiations - exchange

of experience. What was difficult in negotiations of human rights? Are we able to

persuade others during debate?

MARKET preparations and talks


APPENDIX 3

Buyers need to buy from sellers 4 human rights that they believe are the most important in their lives.

Budget for this purpose: £ 1,000 – you can not spend more money than you have!

From your Human Rights list please create your own ranking list according to priorities from the most important to least important human rights. Students make a decision together as a team. This will help you to take action while shopping.

Trading is negotiation - not just money. You have to convince the seller why your chosen human right should be sold to you at a specific price.

Remember that not all human right will be for sale in this particular day selling all human rights.

GUIDELINES FOR GROUP 1 buyers

GUIDELINES FOR GROUP 2 sellers

The seller's job is to sell as much human rights as possible at the highest price.

Before the trading a poster should be prepared describing the sales' stand that includes the "name" of the human rights that will be sold in there and the starting price (or several human rights with name and price).

The price should correspond to the importance given to individual human rights - the more important the law, the higher the price.

Prices for individual human rights must be diversified. Remember that Buyers have a budget of £ 1,000.

Choose from the catalogue 8 human rights , and from these select 4 to sell. Choose the ones that are most important.

Trading is negotiation - not just money. You must convince the buyer why the given human right has so much value for the seller and why the seller can not lower the price.
