HUMAN RIGHTS DAY

 Human Rights Day is observed every year on 10 December — the day the United Nations General Assembly adopted, in 1948. The (UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS) UDHR is a milestone document that proclaims the inalienable rights which everyone is entitled to as a human being - regardless of race, colour, religion, sex, language, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. In class VIII, I shared one short documentary - BLACK AND WHITE (national human rights commission awarded film) I asked a few things from students - what are the three things that strike you most about the film? What symbol does the film use to discuss human rights? In what ways might this Indian film differ or be the same as one from Ireland or the US for example? Students of class VIII were excited and keen to answer and share their thoughts. We had a great discussion on these questions. This helped in sensitizing students about Human Rights.
