These worksheets, which are both theoretical and practical, are a dynamic resource to help teachers foster an awareness of human rights among their pupils.

This resource has some stories and dilemmas which may be used by primary or secondary practitioners. Each story has a theme linked to moral character (explicit in the title) and may be utilized to encourage children to make the right decision in certain dilemmas. Each story can be used with a particular year group or in whole school situations such as Key Stage, Phase or Whole School assemblies.

This work is a solid contribution to making international justice accessible, friendly and meaningful to children, thus ensuring that children's rights safeguarded by conventions are concrete and not just theoretical.

This Handbook on values for life in a democracy is structured around a series of key questions to promote discussion among young people about universal human rights and the implementation of core European values.

Janusz Korczak is said to have once described himself as “a doctor by training, a pedagogue by chance, a writer by passion, and a psychologist by necessity”. He was well known at the time in his native Poland in all these capacities, but what made him a legend was his desperate struggle to shield the Jewish orphans from the atrocities in the Warsaw Ghetto. The publication presents an English translation of one of Korczak’s more well-known texts, The Child’s Right to Respect, in which he summarised his thinking on the relationship between children and adults. It is introduced by Sven Hartman, Professor of Pedagogy at the Stockholm University and followed by a moving testimony of Irena Sendlerova who herself tried to save children from the Nazi brutalities in the Ghetto and who saw Korczak, his colleagues and all the children from “My home” being marched to their death.
