What are Human Rights?

This animated video introduces the concept of human rights – what are they, where do they come from and why are they important in Australia today?

This video was developed to complement ‘The Story of Our Rights and Freedoms’ classroom resources for Years 7-10 History and Civics and Citizenship. These resources were developed in partnership with Cool Australia. You can view and download the resources from their website. https://www.coolaustralia.org/curriculum-materials/?types_k=&types_v=&year_level_k=&year_level_v=&ca_topic_k=ca_topic-social-issues&ca_topic_v=49147&subject_k=subject-civics-and-citizenship&subject_v=1184#body-wrapper
