Our human rights education program is aimed at promoting a greater focus on human rights in schools. Key projects are:

• Publishing a new curriculum resource, Human Rights today.
• Developing China, the Olympics and Human Rights
• Developing a professional learning program for teachers.
• Teachers' guide accompanying 'Human Rights today'.
• Lesson plans.

This page includes downloadable lesson plans and resources for teachers on human rights issues.

Here are some practical classroom ideas on teaching for human rights. Produced by the LOTE, ESL and Multicultural Education Unit of the Victorian Department of Education and Training.

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.
