Human Rights – dilemmas when rights seem to conflict

Particularly useful for secondary schools working towards the Rights Respecting Schools Award (RRSA), this resource encourages young people to think about the nature of human rights and some of the dilemmas that may arise. The approach provides structures for teaching skills about thinking and forming opinions, as well as speaking, listening, reading and writing.

Just Living

Based on Article 27 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, the right to a decent standard of living, this resource encourages young people to explore global citizenship and economic well-being. Topical issues relating to money will help young people make choices that are both financially and economically sound. Case studies bring a global perspective. Just Living is relevant to many secondary-level curriculum areas, especially the Economic Well-being and Financial Capability strands of PSHE.
