Taking Action for human rights
© AI
These resources have been developed by students at Deakin University's Graduate Diploma of Applied Learning. They are useful for VCAL and in other contexts such as SOSE/HSIE. There is material on • taking action for human rights • organising an event.
Material on the death penalty and refugees and asylum seekers is still in draft form, however these units may provide some useful starting points for teachers.
Note: there is also a chapter on Taking Action for Human Rights in Amnesty International Australia's new curriculum resource, Human Rights today: Discussing the issues, Accepting the Challenge.
