In this activity students consider the concept of respect as the basis of human rights.
Tasks
- Introduce the concept of respect as the basis of human rights.

students to think of examples which might illustrate respect e.g.
listening to others' opinions, treating others as you would like to be
treated, helping people out etc. Record students' responses on the
board or on butcher's paper.
- In small groups or individually, ask students to create or find images which represent respect
in their school, community or town e.g. people from different
backgrounds working or playing together, a time or event that
celebrates diversity etc. Students may choose to draw images, create a
collage, take photographs or make posters which illustrate the concept
of respect.
- At the conclusion of the activity, display students' artwork in the classroom or library.
- This activity may be conducted during class time or over several sessions.
