Global Politics: Generations of Human Rights

(0)
This is at least two hours worth of lessons of types of Human Rights, as well as Universalism and Relativism. Activities on attached sheets and integrated in. Link to the video in the notes. You will need post it notes in three different colours, and ideally some mini whiteboards or equivalent. I used articles from the BBC and New Statesman for the Broadband bit. But if it’s a UK school the video should be enough by itself to be honest.
