In an educational setting, cartoons drawn by young people themselves can be used to develop observation skills, imagination, and feelings of empathy. Simulation games aim to bring to life circumstances which are unfamiliar to the students. They can be useful for improving analysis and understanding of a situation, helping to develop participation skills and for encouraging empathy.
Creative writing helps develop communication skills and encourages the imagination.
Projects are also useful for teaching about human rights because they allow learners to take control of their own learning and create opportunities for young people to interact with each other and with diverse people in the community. The aim of all the five lesson activities is to help secondary school students understand that discrimination is wrong and that it denies people their fundamental rights. They also highlight the need for action to prevent discrimination.
