7th LA - Human Rights Day Activities

When your group is all done with your UN Human Rights Day Worksheet, check out any/all of the following links:

From the website of the BBC World Service, the entire text of the UDHR plus links to a huge amount of material including ‘Background’, a useful ‘Simplified Text’ giving the essential meaning of each of the declaration’s thirty articles, and a UN page containing the UDHR in 300 languages.

From BBC Newsround, a page on the subject of human rights aimed at teachers of children and teenagers, giving interesting suggestions for the content of a lesson on the subject.

Again from BBC Newsround, a set of short texts on the subject of asylum seekers fleeing from human rights abuses. Aimed at children and younger teenagers in the UK. Accessible to intermediate students.

Wikipedia entry for the UDHR. Upper intermediate and above.
