Tasmania Schools Network

Human Rights March

The schools network is a group of schools in Tasmania who are interested in meeting to discus human rights and take action on Amnesty International Australia’s campaigns.

Amnesty Tasmanian Branch provides support, resources and information for school based groups and Amnesty's student members and activists. Each term, students receive our 'Term Action Pack' with information, updates and suggestions for action.

If you want to start your own Amnesty Group in your school, e-mail or call the Tasmanian Action centre you can also arrange for a speaker to talk to your group or your school assembly by contacting the Tasmanian Action Centre.

Enthusiastic about student activism?

We want to share inspiring news about young human rights defenders. Send us pictures and articles describing events your school group has been involved in, or artwork and creative writing inspired by Human Rights.
