Right the wrongs

Year level: Middle primary/Upper secondary Learning outcome Students will investigate, plan and implement an advocacy program to improve access to human rights for a selected group. Select a situation in which people do not have full access to their human rights (eg a case study, a current news item) Describe (eg with an amusing story, a cartoon or irony) the situation outlining: which people are involved what is preventing people from having their basic needs met and from being treated as others in their society and feeling safe what organisations are or could be assisting the people how are these organisations assisting or how could they assist. Plan your response to improve this situation (eg tell people about the situation, raise money to support others who are doing something, approach key people to suggest how you would like to see them work for change). Plan three things you will do. What resources (knowledge, money, time) do you need? Which people will you need to contact? Assessment task Carry out your plan and evaluate the response.
