Something to watch

1. This multilingual video, from UNESCO, contains young people’s reflections and opinions on human rights from 10 countries around the world. It’s a useful starting point for thinking about how rights are understood by young people. As you watch, consider how the young people discuss some of the topics you have encountered in the course so far, and what human rights means to you as a peace educator.
