  • Voice Our Concern. Check out "Voice Our Concern" for classroom activities and some great ideas for taking action. The project, developed by Amnesty International in Ireland, is built around students working with artists to produce creative resources exploring human rights.
  • Lift Off: Human Rights Education for primary level. "Lift Off" is a major human rights education package for 8-12 year olds. "Lift Off" materials are based on an outer space character called CROC (using the acronym for the Convention on the Rights of the Child.) CROC comes from another planet to Earth to find out about our lives. Children engage with CROC through responding to its questions and examining some of the problems it discovers while here on Earth. "Lift Off" has been developed through collaboration between Amnesty International (Irish and UK sections), the Irish National Teachers' Organisation, the Ulster Teachers' Union, and Education International.
