Worksheet: 'What can we do?'

Choose a basic right to focus on. Then look at the range of actions below. Choose one action from each box that you would carry out to help people claim the right. You may also be able to think of you own more appropriate actions.

Get information

  • Find out which organisations work to help people to claim this right -- send for information on them.

  • Invite an expert to school to answer questions.

  • Visit a library to find out more.

  • Use the Internet to find out more.

  • Watch TV programmes or videos on the subject.

Publicise

  • Run a poster information campaign or make a display of information in school or in the local library.

  • Write and perform a song, poem or play for assembly or parents’ evening.

  • Let other schools and the local paper and TV stations know what you are doing.

Make links

  • Contact local organisations which campaign for this right. Go to a meeting or start a branch at school.

  • Find out if your school is, or could be, linked to another country, so that you can share ideas with people who live there.

  • Let your local MP or MEP know about your concerns. Ask them to let you know what their party is doing about it.

Take responsibility

  • Talk to other people about your concerns and say why you think they are important.

  • Know the right people to contact if you see or hear of someone being denied their rights.

  • Behave in a way which respects other people’s rights.

  • Join or form a group that works for rights.
