rightsED is guided by a clear set of education principles and learning outcomes.
Our approach supports the goals and direction of the UN World Programme for Human Rights Education, which aims to advance the implementation of human rights education programmes in all sectors.
The Commission also supports Australia’s state and territory education departments, schools, organisations and facilitators to promote an understanding of and commitment to human rights education.
The Commission’s rightsED resources include a range of interactive, education activities for teachers and their students.
They are designed to introduce students to human rights concepts in an engaging, relevant way.
While the majority of resources and activities have been developed for secondary students - Year 9 and up (14 years and up), some resources and activities are suitable for younger students - Year 5 and up (10 years and up).
The resources are free to download or order and may be photocopied to use individually or as an entire resource.
