Making rights relevant
Description
For students and teachers alike international human rights values are perhaps easy to relate to. Translating those values into a more gritty understanding of how UK law implements human rights has been cited as particularly difficult to teach. We have brought together a group of six teachers across the key stages who want to develop a fuller understanding of human rights and the law. We invited Cherie Booth QC, an expert in human rights litigation to work with our teachers to expand their legal literacy and knowledge of rights and legal processes. Through grappling with some of the core concepts we follow them as they develop and implement ideas for KS3 pupils using Cherie as their legal expert in and out of the classroom. In this film Simon and Lee from Erith Secondary School in Kent translate human rights concepts into lessons that bring home an understanding of human rights in their local community, looking particularly at cyber-bullying.
