About The Human Rights Educational Forum Workshop
The Human Rights Game
Human Rights affects everyone all over the world. However, there are far too many alarming press reports citing ongoing human rights abuses in all walks of life. Furthermore, there are too many reports of students experiencing record levels of anxiety.
The Human Rights Game is the perfect resource for teaching human rights and minimizing school-based bullying as it is fun, highly engaging and most of all educational.
How Do Our Human Rights Forums Work?
In response we have developed the human rights leadership forums, which are based on The Human Rights Game created and published with the in kind support of the United Nations in New York. It is also supported by the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland. This means the forums have impeccable credentials.
The Human Rights Leadership Forums help reset human behaviour in a culture of dignity, equality and respect based on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which is signed off on by 192 countries including Australia.
The Human Rights Leadership Forums are ideal for both teacher professional development and as a school-based approach to resetting expected student behaviours.
The workshops run for about two hours in five structured phases: education, gameplay, discussion, presentation of ideas, and an action plan. Participants engage with highly relevant scenarios and situation cards which address the United Nations 30 Articles and three pillars being Freedom, Equality and Dignity.
During the ideas phase, participants anonymously write their ideas for change on PostIt notes, which get plastered on a wall for all to see. Then The Brainary staff collect the pre and post knowledge surveys, and PostIt notes. The information is transcribed, analysed and then returned as a report. The reports represent an excellent resource for understanding key issues important to participants. To quote one student, "if we had less school rules, we would get bullied".
The educational forums which are appropriate for ages 10+ are fun and highly engaging. Participants are usually more than keen to share their opinions and ideas as they learn about respect, equality, freedom and responsibility in a nurturing environment.
