World human rights day

2. World Human Rights Day celebrates the anniversary of the creation of
the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It was created in 1948 after
the end of the second world war. This document, signed by over 190
nations, sets out the rights given to everybody. It is celebrated every
year on December 10th.

8. "In small places, close to home – so close and so
small that they cannot be seen on any maps of the
world. Yet they are the world of the individual
person; the neighborhood he lives in; the school or
college he attends; the factory, farm or office where
he works. Such are the places where every man,
woman, and child seeks equal justice, equal
opportunity, equal dignity without discrimination.
Unless these rights have meaning there, they have
little meaning anywhere. Without concerned citizen
action to uphold them close to home, we shall look
in vain for progress in the larger world."
— Eleanor Roosevelt
In short, they effect everyone.

9. You will need to use the remainder of the lesson today to create some

To complete the poster task:
•Draw on the human outline in the middle of
the poster to turn into a representation of
you.
•Colour in the headings to make then stand
out.
•Use the remainder of the space of the poster

any way you feel is appropriate. This could
be in words, pictures or a combination of
both.
•Use the statements from earlier in the lesson
to help you.
