Human Right Number Fourteen
The Right to Seek a Safe Place to Live
If we are frightened of being badly treated in our own country, we all have the right to run away to another country to be safe.
Discussion Topics
How can you create a safe place where you are? What things can you do to make school a safe place for yourself and others to be?
Activities
Creating a safe place includes keeping it clean. Do a cleanup around the school/ a local neighborhood. Go out for half an hour to an hour with trash bags and collect as much trash as possible. Give a prize to the person who collects the most.
Important Note
Resist the temptation to play all 30 human rights videos at this point. Save those for each meeting that follows. Carry out the activities and let your students’ own visions of the 30 human rights materialize as the lessons unfold, one at a time.
