This richly animated DVD, is an accessible and enjoyable introduction to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). What does the Universal Declaration say? Although it is part of our political vocabularly, few people actually know what it says. Amnesty International have produced this ‘youth version’ of the UDHR which avoids the legalese and jargon and expresses the 30 articles in clear and simple language. Click here to see the official version. The downloadable notes contain the words used on the DVD, and the official text. What can I use the DVD for? Each of the 30 articles is represented by a piece of creative animation which portrays the issue and the right. A voice over commentary states the right. Each of the 30 rights is accessible directly, or they can by shown in sequence. Teachers use the DVD for a multitude of purposes: citizenship, social & modern studies, humanities, debate, creative writing and visualisation, art. This site contains a downloadable PDF file which contains the words used on the DVD, plus the official text of the universal declaration of human rights, that will allow you to print off as many copies as you want. This resource should be a key part of a school's citizenship curriculum. It says exactly what our human rights are, and also conveys the essence of each right in a stunning and compelling piece of animation. It answers the questions: Does everybody have rights? What happens when rights conflict? Can rights be taken away from those who are irresponsible and anti social? Making Universal Rights Come Alive At a time when many young people feel their own freedoms and rights are being curtailed, this presentation of the universality of rights is very timely. This DVD can form the basis for an extended project using writing, music and voices or drama. The animated sequences were made specially for Amnesty International by the world’s top animators. The words and music were provided by Impington Village College in Cambridge.
